My target 10 kms
This November, I’m taking part in Stroke Foundation’s Stride4Stroke to help prevent, treat and beat stroke!
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.

1.5 to go
Hi everyone. So knocked off another 1k in the little pool today. Have now done 8.5 ks of my 10k target. I am going to make it. Now just need to make my $ target. Can you help me do that for the stroke foundation. Any research that can find ways to prevent stroke, and improve recovery after stroke is money well spent. Thanks in advance.
Swimming goal and Covid 19
Well Covid 19 has reared its ugly head again in South Australia and this has forced the closure of the Aquadome where I do my swimming with my swim buddy. So today we used the pool in my back yard which is only 8 metres, not the 50 metres at the Aquadome! So tonight I swam 126 lengths of my 8 metre pool to get to my 1 kilometre. As a survivor of a massive double whammy stroke, I do all my swimming with the one arm that works, and a leg that is super lazy, but that's OK. At least I am here to do it, and I will. Please, if you can spare a few bucks, donate to my page or to the Team McDowall page. Thanks everyone.
On my way to my target
3.6ks done and dusted so far and I reckon I will reach my 10k goal with the help of my support team and my swim buddy. Don't forget to drop a little donation into the team McDowall page and help us reach our target
Swimming and Golfing after stroke
Day two of my swimming and another 1k done, plus an extra 300 metres for good measure. On the way. Please help me reach my goal this month and donate a couple of bucks if you can spare them.,
Swimming and Golfing after stroke
Well I started today with 20 lengths of the 50 metre pool, so 1k done and dusted. May not seem much to some but I do it with only one arm working, my left arm is still not playing the game but I keep on trying.Thank you to my Sponsors
