This November, I’m taking part in Stroke Foundation’s Stride4Stroke to help prevent, treat and beat stroke!
As many of you who know me, know my father had a very debilitating stroke when he was only 48, so I'm taking part in this stride for stroke to raise awareness and fund raise for the Stroke Foundation.
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.
