My Progress
Minutes Moved:
115 minutes
I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!
In April last year my husband Jock had a major ischemic stroke. He was 41. We have three young kids. There was no warning, and no risk factors - he is proof that stroke doesn’t discriminate. I had no idea that in Australia every 11 minutes someone is affected by stroke.
In September I’m going challenge myself and commit to moving my body for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Anyone who knows me, knows this is a hugely unusual thing for me! But I’m doing this to raise funds for Stroke Foundation, to help sustain vital programs and resources.
I’d love your support to help me stay the course and reach my fundraising goal!
Together we can change the story of stroke.
My Updates
Striding out with Jock
Another 30 minutes added to the movement total today after a brisk power walk around the neighbourhood. Nice to have Jock for company!
Today’s stride!
Today my beautiful eldest son joined me on a walk around our local area. We kept up the pace but also had a chance for a great chat - precious times with an almost-teen!
Thank you!
A huge thank you to everyone who is so generously supporting me to #stride4stroke this September! Kicked off the month with a tough weights session with TMC fitness tonight. Day 1 done!
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.
Thank you to my Sponsors

Hi Sarah. This sounds like an amazing cause, and especially due to Jock’s stroke - I had no idea that it could happen to someone so relatively young and without any warning signs. All the best for your fundraising, and to Jock and your kids. Rohan.
