I’m taking part in Stride4Stroke to help prevent, treat and beat stroke!
This is going to be one of the hardest challenges of my life, both physically and emotionally. I'm honouring my incredible mum Jayne by fundraising in November. The timing is perfect so that I can do this to celebrate her first heavenly birthday on 7th November.
Mum was stolen away from us in January of this year by one of Australia's devastating killers - brain aneurysm and subsequent strokes.
Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability.
In Australia currently, 12% of people say they won’t have exercised this week. One million strokes a year globally are linked to physical inactivity. One of the things we can do to reduce our risk of stroke, or secondary stroke, is to keep active.
So this November I’m taking part in Stride4Stroke to raise vital funds and awareness for Stroke Foundation.
Stroke Foundation is committed to raising community awareness about stroke and stroke prevention, advocating for increased access to specialised stroke treatment and rehabilitation care, and supporting research into innovative treatments for the benefit of all Australians.
Please join me in my fight against stroke today by donating and helping share my story.
Thank you in advance.

Sing, Sing a Song
Many people may not know this but my mum was a rock chick in her younger years. She busted out the tunes with her band, performing all over Germany (yes really). She had an amazing voice, which I loved listening to when she would sing me songs.
A Big Deep Breath
When my mum collapsed and was rushed via Air Ambulance to Hobart, the first thing I did was take aSo far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…
