Hi everybody!

Hi everybody!

I'm putting my runners/goggles/dance shoes on for the Stride4Stroke challenge this September.

During this initiative, your support can look like: 

1. Make a profile alongside me and count your minutes of physical activity each day in September

2. Donate, if you are in a financial position to do so

3. Share the Caulfield Hospital Community team page, or this page, across your social media platforms 

4. Learn more about stroke on the Stroke Foundation website

Financial contributions sustain vital programs and resources, 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

As a family member bereaved by stroke, a health professional and as a member of multiple communities, I know that stroke does not discriminate. It can affect any person, any family, at any time. 

Thanks for reading and all support is sincerely appreciated.
