Emilia Clarke, known worldwide for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in "Game of Thrones," possesses a no less significant but lesser-known side: she is a global society hero. In 2015, inspired by her own experience of surviving two brain aneurysms, Clarke co-founded the SameYou charity with her mother Jenny.
SameYou is dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by brain injury and stroke. The organization provides support and information, promotes early intervention, improves access to rehabilitation services, raises awareness, and funds research into new treatments and therapies.
SameYou's services include:
● A comprehensive website
● A helpline
● A peer support network
● Rehabilitation service grants
● Advocacy work
Since its inception, SameYou has supported over 10,000 survivors and their families, raised over £10 million, campaigned for better rehabilitation services, and raised awareness.
SameYou is a community of survivors, families, friends, and supporters. The organization strives to provide a safe and inclusive space for those affected to share experiences, gain strength, and advocate for change together. Emilia Clarke is proof that celebrities can be more than just idols, they can be heroes.
