Raising funds for the Stroke Foundation

Hi there,

I’m taking on Stride4Stroke this September and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help create a future with fewer strokes.

On the 30th of November 2025, my dad suffered from two aneurysm’s and a stroke. This left him in a coma for weeks and unfortunately left hemiplegia. Those months were the most difficult we’ve ever experienced. 

With the help of family, friends, doctors and support from the foundations like this one, we got through it together. 

Almost 47,000 Australians will have a stroke this year — that’s one every 11 minutes.

This year, every $11 raised represents one stroke expected in Australia. I’m aiming to make as much impact as I can — and I’d love your support.

Your donation will help fund vital programs and services that:

• Prevent stroke through education and awareness
• Support people and families when stroke happens
• Help survivors of stroke recover and rebuild their lives

Every dollar truly makes a difference.

My Dad continues to show up everyday, even when it’s hard. I’m forever grateful that I get to continue looking up to him.

Thank you so much for supporting me — together, we can help change the story of stroke.
