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 create a future with fewer strokes.

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.

By supporting me, you'll be helping to sustain vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides, 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

Your support goes beyond just a donation; it's a lifeline for individuals at risk of stroke and survivors of stroke.

Thank you for supporting me. Together we can change the story of stroke.

My Updates

Day 8

Today I needed to get a mole map done. But chilly and windy down in Mornington! Heading home to get some much needed housework done.

Day 7

While out today in a park/reserve in Sommerville, I strolled past this sign... I never knew there were soooo many rules!

Day 2

I spent most of the morning raking the old grass and removing more grubs before leveling the majority of the soil to help the water run off. After a quick lunch, I hit the rowing machine. I dont knkw if it was from all the raking or just lack of experience on the rower- but boy I am definitely feeling tight in my upper back!!! Ill be on the road tmw from 8am-6pm... I may not get a chance to get some mins in but ill sure try! Have a great night.

Day 1

Forgot to add a pic!

Day 1

So today I i challenged myself to get some yard work done as my activity.  I headed off to Bunnings and bought myself a power garden tiller. The plan is to dig the back lawn up ready to lay new turf.  What a workout it has been!! Ive managed to dig the entire lawn up and found so many lawn grubs! There so much more to do. I started at 9am and only stopped now, 2pm, for a quick meal and a cuppa. Off to get the kids from school and get a little bit more done before dark. My arms and legs have had a pretty decent workout today!
Oh and I have blisters from the rake and hoe! Yay 

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.
