Our team is taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!
Hi there,
This is a cause that is very close to my children and the hearts of our family.
My husband, Matt has had a challenging journey over the past few years. In February, Matt suffered his 2nd severe stroke, and then another just 3 weeks ago. That is 3 strokes in total, yet Matt never gives up. He faces each day with the courage & determination to be the best he can be for our family.
We are lucky enough to be supported by beautiful people, which makes each day easier. There is nothing like a touch of kindness to make dark days bright!
A big shout-out to Matt's colleagues Lou, Sarita, and his team at Australia Post for their ongoing support! Furthermore, the entire team at Eight Homes has been there for me and my family. I am so proud and humbled!
Our Family, Friends & Work Mates are taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke.
"Macca's Team" will further be supported by Eight Homes as they raise money and awareness during their Wellbeing month in November 2024.
Together we will be raising funds for the 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 us, you'll be contributing to sustaining 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 us. Together we can change the state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.
Thank you to our Sponsors
