I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!
This year, I'm taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.
In April 2015, my Dad suffered a catastrophic stroke at the age of 48. The first 4 weeks after the stroke, we were unsure if he was going to pull through but fast forward to today, he is still with us. He spent 8 months in hospital completing rehab and learning to walk again. He relies heavily on his electric wheelchair and requires care and assistance to help with daily tasks. The stroke completely turned his life, and my family’s life, upside down.
If I can raise awareness on how to notice the first signs of a stroke and potentially help save a life, I will be happy.
Did you know that 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 Foundation is committed to a world free from disability and suffering caused by stroke.
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 the Stroke Foundation's vital work.
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 me.
