It's time to take next steps and live a full life - Join me

I would love you to read this through. It woke me up when I discovered it.

I turn 66 this month and will retire soon -  (statistically) my next 5 years are my "junior senior" years. It gets harder after that.

The "healthy lifespan" of an Australian is 71. That means HALF of us that GET to 71 are already unable to enjoy their senior years. We might get to 83 or more - but are we healthy? 

The last thing I want for myself or my family and friends is to lose that quality of life JUST as we're ready to enjoy it.

That's why I've chosen to Stride4Stroke this year

The choice is mine. Do I sit on the couch with a beer watching cricket all day, or do I get out, lose (several) kilos and start living my best life - perhaps extending those healthy years?

The choice is yours too - Sponsor me AND join me and we can loosen those joints, get that heart pumping, suck some fresh air - and help our family and friends avoid or recover from stroke/

I'm giving myself a retirement gift as my goal

I've booked my big Euro trip next April. This was the trip my late wife and I wanted: lunch in a Tuscan village, visit the city of lights. She's no longer with us - it all changed so quickly. 

It's time to make the most of each moment. With a bit of luck I'll share a bit on Youtube

Please choose to live your best life now - don't wait. Oh - Did I say SPONSOR ME in Stride for Stroke in September?

I plan to enjoy EVERY moment of adventure, walking through Cinque Terra, Going to the Florence markets and cooking a Tuscan lunch, exploring my ancestral homes in Malta and England,  Wine and dining with wonderful friends in Paris, Exploring incredible southern Poland with another friend and go wherever the wind blows.

I want more time to play hide and seek with my grandchild, laugh and hug my now very adult children, taking time while I'm at my best to enjoy time with them

You can help by supporting me on Stride4Stroke - we know times are tough. Charities are finding it harder each year to help more people - so paying it forward by digging a bit deeper will help. 

Then ask me to cheer you on as you live too!

Facts on Stroke:

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.
