Stride4Stroke

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.

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

My Updates

Stroke at 42 years of age.

I had a Stroke which nearly took my life. On holidays in Pambula, just south of Merimbula, my life was changed forever. The 30th of December, 2009, after in the Ambulance from Pambula hospital to Eden hospital to Canberra hospital, I would stay for 2 and a half weeks.
Then a flight to Ballarat for another 10 weeks at the Queen Elizabeth. 
It was horrible. No right movement in my arm, which I still don’t have. My right leg/foot have an AFO on it all else I can’t walk. Reading and writing was no longer there. Weren’t of all, I could not speak a word.
My life since has been on a disability pension on mainly on my own (with my dogs).

So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…

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.
