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 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, 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

March 18th was a normal day for me this year, it was my oldest sons 26th birthday we went over to the club with some friends an i had a couple of glasses of wine nothing unusual, went home and went to bed as usual, woke up at 3am with a horrendous migraine and started vomiting straight away i have always suffered them but i hadn't had one for 6 years ( i hadn't missed them' I continued to throw up every 10 15 minutes for approx 8 hours, Matt rang around lunch time as he had had quite a a few of these what i'm going to talk about next and loved them i haad even had one the week before and felt fantastic after it. he rang and said are you up for a cryothrerapy session? I was still being sick so passed, but by 5.30 I was good and could make it for a 6pm session remembering they only go for 3minutes and get down to -124degrees in 3 minutes so god dam cold 1.5 minutes into it my head was feeling not good and i thought it''s not worth it im getting out'so i hit the emergency button and the guy came over i said get me out ive done something to my head!!!!!! he said jut do a slow circle you are doing great only 1 90 sec to go i said get me out he hit the button door was opened from then on was crazy matt was there he came over and in minutes i was in the most psin i have ever been in in my life and have had 3 big babies i told Matt Ï think im dying" he said you will be ok abulance took long time and i can just remember lyning on the floor of i think the mens bathroom wherever the shower is screaming when the pain hit then it would give me  release for s few seconds then i startrted screaming again. they took me to Belmont Hospital and transferred me to JHH the next day where i stayed for about 10 days then went to Toronto for nearly 2 months. my stroke has changed my life in a huge way my drinking patterns have dramatically cha i do hope that one day I can get back tohaving 1 or 2 wines with friends but we will see

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.
