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
Stroke of Luck
Hi, I'm Paisley Jayne and I had a stroke 5years ago. It was a ischaemic stroke, which is caused by a blood clot, blocking an artery to the brain. My whole left side of my body was affected and I couldn't really talk, very slurred , for a few weeks after the stroke, my senses started coming back, and my understanding of my condition deepened. I knew I had to use every reserve within me to fight my way back to movement. I have been lucky, and discovered that I am stronger than I thought possible. I would like my success to help others fight their way back to themselves. And survive and thrive. See you out there!!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.
Great fundraising idea Paisley ❤️
