I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hi there,

#bitchhadabrainbleed in 2019 and we never found out why.  But I am still gloriously and chaotically alive and having hit the 5 year survivor milestone earlier this year, I'm doing #stride4stroke to support the Stroke Foundation's fundraising efforts to help sustain vital programs and resources they provide, 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

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.

All donations much appreciated. 

My Updates

Again? You're all too awesome

I actually recorded a short video saying THANK YOU as I strode along the side of Parramatta River yesterday but it doesn't let me update with a video so here I am - picture plus words.  THANK YOU to all those who helped me reach my revised goal of $1000.  That money all goes off to the Stroke Foundation to do amazing things supporting people who experience a schlagenfall. I got behind a bit with my minutes during the week but got in a couple of big ones on the weekend - one with my eldest adorkable and Gizmo the dog to keep me vaguely on track.  But never fear.  I shall get all those strides 'strodden' by the end of the month to make sure you get your monies worth!  And of course, because I doubled my goal last time, I've doubled it again.  You're all amazing.  Thank you so much.  Legends every one of you.  

Updated my fundraising goal

I've pushed out my fundraising goal to $1000! Thanks again to the beautiful people who so generously donated and got me to my initial goal of $500 before I even started!  You are the kind of people that make the world awesome. xox

You guys.... WOW

It's 4/11 and I've already hit my target (bar two bucks) thanks to the incredible generosity of you beautiful people.  Thank you so much.  I've already hit 230 minutes of moving in my first three days which is a strong start but also accounts for me being a bit hit and miss when it comes to consistency and exercise.  However, this is an excellent motivation to do all that I can to get those dollars right up there and make a difference for the stroke foundation.  Thanks again for your generosity and WE CAN DO THIS. 

So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…

Initial advice and support from a health professional on StrokeLine

A stroke recovery pack to three survivors of stroke

Training to a StrokeSafe volunteer to deliver community talks.

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

Thank you to my Sponsors
