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

Hi there, 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 11 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia is going to have a stroke.

Stroke is one of Australia's biggest killers and doesn't discriminate; it affects anyone, anytime. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. And incredibly, up to 120 babies and 400 children have a stroke in Australia each year.

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 state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.

My Updates

Bonus Post - The (faint) rainbow!

You can't see it, but it's there :D

Day 16 - Hey look Ma + friends, I made it!


Tanjiro and I finally reached out moving minutes goal! 

Today we went on another different route, where we located not one, but two parks tucked away in our local suburbia! We almost got lost on the way home, but was blessed to see an overarching rainbow above our heads!

Day 15 - In Full Bloom!


Coming back from camp was a little drizzly ~ wasn't sure how to capture Tanjiro, but I had noticed that the flowers in our street were in full bloom! It was very pretty ~

Day 14 - Lakeside Views

Another camp photo with the beautiful lake in the background! 

Day 13 - Challenge Walk!


On Friday, Tanjiro and I went off to camp! Another scorching day, but we took a stroll around the camp site. Lots of big trees, beautiful birds and cute little bunnies hopping around :P

Day 12 - Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!


Another Thursday shop ~ Great weather but oh boy, were we sweltering in this heat :')

Day 11 - We made our $95 goal!


Apologies for the late updates everyone ~ been caught up with life and other shenanigan's (you'll see in the posts above :P) 

But hey, we made it to our $95 dollar threshold ~ A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has donated thus far! Because of you, we received a little prize ~ although I don't think it fits Tanjiro hehe :^)

Day 10 - Livin' Local

Apologies for the late update everyone, the last few days have been difficult on my end! In saying this, Monday was just a simple trek, to and from the local library ~

Day 9 - Jingle Bell Shop!


Another Thursday, another trip to the market ft. Christmas songs! (but honestly, go away Mariah ... you are not back here for another month :P)

Also, a special shout-out to Melanie + Andrew for their generous donation ~ thank you guys so much <3

Day 8 - New Directions!


Went on an alternative route today! Again, it was nice to just be out in the fresh air and sunshine ~ Glad to see the weather turned out alright :)

Also, thank you to the anonymous person who donated on my page for mum ~ much appreciated!

Day 7 - Hidden Treasures

Today was a slightly shorter walk than usual ~ Walking home from the shops however, I came across this really cool piece of street art hidden amongst our laneways!

(and yes, a little cameo from Tanjiro :P)

Day 6 - Childhood memories!


For today, I decided to take a slightly different route ~ Next to my old primary school, there was a park that the teachers used to take us. Sitting out there, it was just so nice to take in the warm sunshine and fresh air!

I also ended up going past the school. It has developed so much since I have left ~ how times have changed!

Day 5 - Camouflaged


Went for another walk around my local area! I think Tanjiro wanted to stay hidden :P 

Day 4 - Escape to the city :D


Apologies for the delay everyone, it's been another busy weekend!

Friday was less of a walk and more of a trek to the city ~ Short walk, but made some of it in! Tanjiro also getting a piece of the action as we play some Magic the Gathering!

Day 3 - Market Day!


Today, Tanjiro and I travelled to the market for our usual Thursday shop! Although, the Christmas decorations have started to appear much earlier this year ~ It may be a little hard to see our mascot, but he is definitely present :P

Day 2 - The Butterfly Mural


Went through one of my usual walk routes today! I always go past this beautiful mural and so thought to give Tanjiro some wings ~ The Butterfly Girls from the series would definitely love this xP

Day 1 - We're back!


New year, new cause :D Join Tanjiro and I as we stride 150 minutes each week to raise money for The Stroke Foundation! 

Also, today's post is brought to you by my friendo Shani from Maluridae Dice #notsponsored :P Please go and support her amazing work! (and thank you again for allowing me to capture Tanjiro amongst your beautiful dice ~)

So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…

Initial advice and support from a health professional on StrokeLine

A stroke recovery pack to three survivors of stroke

Training to a StrokeSafe volunteer to deliver community talks.

Funding to stroke researchers to find the next game-changer in stroke.
