Zed and the Jays

This November, Jess, Zoe, Jit and Joel are taking part in Stroke Foundation’s Stride4Stroke in a trans-Tasman effort to help prevent, treat and beat stroke!

Intro To Us:

Sisters Jess and Zoe have had 3 loved ones in their life impacted by stroke, and Joel (Zoe's partner)  has also had a loved one affected by stroke. This is for those 4 souls dear to us: 

Our gorgeous Mum Missy (Janet), who suffered a stroke at the age of just 42, who uses her strength and knowledge to promote the cause as a Stroke Ambassador, and who has one of the biggest hearts of anyone we have ever met. 

This is also in memory of three beautiful humans who have left us: Our Nanny ('Poppy Nan'), our Mum's partner, Peter, and Joel's Grandma.

Dedicated to Mum, Nanny, Peter and Grandma, this is for you xoxo

So, with our partners Jit & Joel by our sides, we will each complete 100kms in the month of November, by either walking or running, so a team total of 400kms. This will be a trans-Tasman effort, with Jess & Jit based in New Zealand and Zoe & Joel based in Australia.

Intro to Stroke:

Sadly, 1 in 4 people will have a stroke in their lifetime.

Stroke attacks the brain- the human control centre, changing lives in an instant. The impact of stroke can be devastating for the individual and the family. But stroke’s impact doesn’t need to be this great, research indicates that around 80 percent of strokes are preventable.

So, we need your help to Fight Stroke. It’s going to be a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to those who are impacted by stroke. Please sponsor our team today to support us and together we can Fight Stroke!

Your donation will help the Stroke Foundation support those affected right now and fund research to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery. Thank you.
