I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hey I’m Chloe Portwine and for the whole month of September, I’m taking part in Stride4Stroke to help raise vital funds for stroke research, support services, and education. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability, and the impact it has on individuals and families is life-changing. I’m doing this in honour of my dad, whose experience with stroke has affected my whole family and shown me just how important it is to support others going through the same journey. Every amount I earn is not only helpful for survivors but to educate to minimise risk and increase care, resources, and hope for recovery. Did you know that strokes claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. And actually, up to 120 babies and 400 children have a stroke in Australia each year and an even more increase amount in regional areas like ours.

By supporting me, you'll be helping to sustain vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides, including:

Preventing Stroke:

• StrokeSafe Talks
• Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check
• Information Resources

Saving Lives:

• F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) Signs of Stroke Awareness
• Living Guidelines for Stroke Management
• InformMe Website for Health Professionals

Enhancing Recovery:

• StrokeLine
• My Stroke Journey
• EnableMe Website for Survivors of Stroke

Your support goes beyond just a donation; it's a lifeline for individuals at risk of stroke and survivors of stroke.

Thank you for supporting me. Together we can change the story of stroke.
