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.

Did you know stroke is one of Australia's biggest killers and there is one stroke every 19 minutes, even though more than 80% of strokes can be prevented? 

Stroke doesn't discriminate; it affects anyone, anytime, even unborn babies. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Even more distressing, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.

Your support can make a significant difference, and I kindly ask you to help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation. It only takes a minute, and any amount you can give, no matter how large or small, will go a long way in supporting Stroke Foundation's vision of a world free from disability and suffering caused by stroke.

With your generosity, the Stroke Foundation will be able to:

Prevent Stroke: By empowering a greater proportion of adult Australians to recognise the modifiable risk factors for stroke, we can increase their chances of preventing stroke and living healthier lives.

Save Lives: Your support will enable hospitals and healthcare providers across Australia to enhance their capabilities in stroke care and rehabilitation services, ultimately saving more lives.

Enhance Recovery: By reaching out to those affected by stroke, the Stroke Foundation ensures that more Australians can access reliable information, resources, and essential post-stroke support, promoting a better recovery journey for stroke survivors.

Your donation will directly contribute to these critical initiatives, bringing hope, assistance, and improved outcomes to stroke survivors and their families.

Thank you for your support. Your generosity means a lot to me.

My Updates

25 Nov 23

Getting close to the end of November.  I have achieved my moving minute target but that is no reason to stop.
Today my Support Worker and I caught a train into Adelaide and walked from the station to the Central Market.
We walked all around the market then walked to Rundle Mall and walked end to end and back and then back to the train station.

22 Nov 23

Went on a 2 Km walk this morning, I was a little bit slower as I did it on my own.  I had no Support Worker to tell me when lumps and bumps were coming up..

It takes longer to navigate the paths on my own

Carisbrook Park

21 Nov 23

Went on a 6.5km walk in Carisbrook Park.

The scenery is just beautiful.  The paths are well established and very good.

There were quite a few people walking their dogs, which on a whole were cute.

19 Nov 23

Went for a Walk early today as it is starting to warm up.

Did some therapy, walked along the highway, it was very noisy.

Ended back at my usual haunt - the Little Para Trails

18 Nov 23

More walking through the Little Para Tails

17 Nov 23

Well I reached my 900 moving minutes and it is only part way through November so I have increased my moving minutes goal to 1200.
I've been doing lots of different walks including the Art Trails throughout Adelaide.

Went Walking with my Support Worker.
Went on the Little Para Trails.  
Walked to Parabanks, the Library and Council Chambers then home again

5 Nov 23

It's a really nice day to be out walking.  Once again I saw a lot of birds.  They seem to love this weather.
It's so much easier to achieve my moving minutes when the weather is this good.

01 Nov 23 - Start of Stride4Stroke

Well I've hit the ground walking.
I've been walking around the Little Para Trails, it's lovely seeing and hearing all the bird life

So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…

Advice and support from a health professional on StrokeLine

Stroke recovery packs to 3 survivors of stroke.

Training to a StrokeSafe volunteer to deliver community talks.

Funding to stroke researchers to find the next game-changer in stroke.
