This September I'm taking part in Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hi there,

 
I’m taking on the Stride4Stroke challenge this September to raise vital funds for the Stroke Foundation and help create a future with fewer strokes.

? Every 11 minutes, someone in Australia will have a stroke.

To raise awareness of this statistic, I’ll be running 11 km each day for 11 days during September.

Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone, anytime. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Shockingly, around 120 babies and 400 children experience a stroke in Australia each year.

By supporting the Stroke Foundation, we can fund prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives that change lives.

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.

Thank you for supporting me. Together we can change the story of stroke.
