The World Stroke Organization (WSO) is calling for urgent action to address the silent stroke epidemic by launching the “1 in 6” campaign on World Stroke Day, 29 October 2010.
The “1 in 6” campaign celebrates the fact that not only can stroke be prevented, but that stroke survivors can fully recover and regain their quality of life with the appropriate long-term care and support. The two-year campaign aims to reduce the burden of stroke by acting on six easy challenges:
1. Know your personal risk factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol.
2. Be physically active and exercise regularly.
3. Avoid obesity by keeping to a healthy diet.
4. Limit alcohol consumption.
5. Avoid cigarette smoke. If you smoke, seek help to stop now.
6. Learn to recognize the warning signs of a stroke and how to take action.

The qr code was generated using http://qrcode.kaywa.com and then transforming the code using GIMP to create this cube design. Isn't it interesting that the qr code has a large error tolerance (redundancy of information or function) that it allows a custom design to be placed in it without loss of readability... much like the human brain!
