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

I'm helping support survivors of stroke like Elisha, my workmates son. I still remember the day it happened, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It felt unimaginable for a teenager to suffer a stroke. My only experience of stroke had been in my elderly Nanna. 

I'm taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.

In the next 19 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia is going to have a stroke for the first time.

Stroke is one of Australia's biggest killers and doesn't discriminate; it affects anyone, anytime, even unborn babies. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. And incredibly, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.

By supporting me, you'll be helping to sustain vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides with stoke prevention activities such as Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check. It will save lives with broader awareness of the Signs of Stroke (F.A.S.T - Face, Arms, Speech and Time). And supporting those in recovery. 

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 state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.
