I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hi there, 

After one of my closest friends Steph had a stroke this year 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. 

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. 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. 

Please help if you can
