We are taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!
Hi there, This November we are taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.
This Foundation is very close to our hearts.
On June 20, 2016 we sadly lost Kurt’s dad suddenly due to a stroke, which has impacted our family tremendously.
Unfortunately Kurt’s cousin’s fiancé , Ryan who is only 32 yrs old also suffered a stroke at such a young age. He is the most caring, selfless, one of the most strongest people we know.
“After spending Easter Sunday in emergency and going home with what was thought to be a bad migraine, I was given the diagnosis the following morning that I had suffered a Stroke at just 32yo.
The part of my brain affected has caused chronic nerve pain and fatigue, weakness and numbness throughout the ride side of my body as well as a visual field impairment. After all that I've been through and continue to battle since my Stroke, I have a deep understanding of just how life-changing this truly is. “
Ryan is improving every single day and never gives up.
We will be competing at this event for both Garry and Ryan on Saturday 25th a November.
Every little bit of donation will help and go such a long way or even better , please come and join us where you can choose your own distance (2K, 5K or 8K) to either run, jog or walk the Greenhills Service Trail starting at Don Lucas Reserve - 1R Mitchell Rd, Cronulla NSW 2230
Thanks so much everyone
Love from the Puohotaua family
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 recognize 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 us.
