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 for stroke survivors like my daughter Tiana, who suffered a stroke in 2022 at age 10 due to a ruptured arteriovenous malformation.
She lost all movement in the left half of her body due to the stroke, and we spent 2.5 months at the Royal Children's Hospital as she recovered from surgery and began rehabilitation, learning to lift her head, sit up, walk, eat, drink, and smile again.
With the support of Stroke Foundation, Tiana has made great progress with her recovery, and was awarded the Creative Award at this year's Stroke Awards for her musical achievements.
As I have joined the Little Stroke Warriors Stride4Stroke team, all donations here will go to the Childhood Stroke Project.
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.
