Iโ€™m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hi there,ย 

After one of my closest friends Steph had a stroke this yearย I have decided to take on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raise funds for Stroke Foundation. Steph is a paramedic, young, fit, healthy, who had no warnings her life would change so dramatically this year.ย 

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.ย 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.

Thanks for supporting this cause. A stroke can truly happen to anyone. I am fundraising for research and support.ย 


Please help if you canย 

My Updates

Last Day Swim

Finished with a cracker!

Wisky Walks

Spectacular surf day

Best exercise I could have had today. Surf and solace. Reflection on what Steph is going through was front of my mind.

Beach walk

Never too late

Whilst I have been exercising I hadnโ€™t been posting. 11 hr shift but still made it to the beach for a dog walk. Very grateful for health today.ย 

First walk

Better late than never. First walk today with Steph raising funds for stroke research.ย 

So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliverโ€ฆ

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.

Thank you to my Sponsors
