I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hi there, I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for the Stroke Foundation to help create a future with fewer strokes — a cause that’s deeply personal to me, because earlier this year, at just 30 years old, I had a stroke.

It was something I never imagined could happen, but stroke doesn’t discriminate. In Australia, someone has a stroke every 11 minutes. It can strike anyone, anytime — from newborns to older adults. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men, and each year, up to 120 babies and 400 children experience a stroke.

By supporting me, you’ll be helping to fund vital programs and resources the 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) stroke awareness

• Living Guidelines for Stroke Management

• InformMe website for health professionals

Enhancing Recovery

• StrokeLine

• My Stroke Journey

• EnableMe website for survivors of stroke

For me, this is more than a fundraiser — it’s a way to raise awareness, give hope, and help ensure others have the best possible chance of avoiding or recovering from stroke.

Your support is more than a donation; it’s a lifeline. Together, we can change the story of stroke.
