This November, I’m taking part in Stroke Foundation’s Stride4Stroke to help prevent, treat and beat stroke!
All of you who know me know that Mike had a severe stroke in June 2019 and have watched and supported us through his recovery to now, and hopefully beyond. This is why I am taking part in this event. Mike will also be registering, with a goal to swim 10 ks, all with one arm as he still has no movement in his left arm or hand. If you would like to join us, please do, or if you would like to donate to this cause, that would be great too. Thanks everyone.
Did you know
In Australia, one stroke occurs every 9 minutes.
It is one of Australia's biggest killers, killing more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer.
Stroke attacks the brain, the human control centre, changing lives in an instant. The impact of stroke can be devastating for the individual and the family. However, the impact of stroke can be prevented, with research indicating that around 80 percent of strokes are preventable.
I have picked my Stride4Stroke activity goal and I’m ready to go!
Please support my Stride4Stroke challenge with a donation today.
Your donation will help the Stroke Foundation support those affected right now and fund research to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery. Thank you.

Made it - upped it
Have reached the distance target set and have increased it by 20ks just because I still have time. I also now have stitched in the top of my foot, but I wont let that stop me. Onward for Team McDowall. Please help us reach our team $ target, and/or our personal targets which will help us beat the team target. Thanks folks. We are nearly at the end.
The month is flying
Well the month is flying by and Team McDowall are almost to our $ target and on track to achieve our distance targets. So proud of us all for our efforts so far, and with just 13 days to go I am sure we will make it. So if you are following us at all, and you have a few dollars to spare, drop them into the Team McDowall fund and help us reach our target.
On track
58.8 ks done towards the 100 ks so far, and Mike is well on track to reach his goal of 10ks in November. Don't forget, if you visit the page, why not leave a deposit, every little bit will help Team McDowall reach and beat the target.Thank you to my Sponsors
