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

Every 11 minutes in Australia - and millions of times around the world - a stroke strikes, impacting people of all ages and genders.

In 2023 alone, around 45,785 Australians experienced a stroke - that’s one stroke every 11 minutes  . Globally, over 12 million people will suffer their first stroke each year, and nearly one in four adults worldwide will have a stroke in their lifetime .


This is why I’m committed to raising awareness, and to supporting research and recovery efforts for everyone affected by stroke. Prevention is key, yet support remains urgently needed.


My passion for this cause stems from my beloved friend Kate, who is courageously navigating life after a stroke. She continues to improve herself every day, demonstrating strength, grace, and love—reminding us all what true resilience looks like. We are so lucky to have her in our lives, and I’m deeply grateful that she’s shining a light on this vital issue.


Help me support stroke recovery and propel research forward—because prevention is vital, and every bit of support makes a difference.


Kate—you are an inspiration!


My Updates

Got some goooooooodies!!

? Thank you so much for your donations! ? We’re already at 60% of the fundraising goal ? — and I’ve just kicked off the movement goal, which officially started on September 1st. Today I logged a 60-minute walk, with more activity planned for tomorrow! ????? ? Fun fact: Moving regularly is one of the most effective ways to prevent strokes, as it helps manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall heart health.

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.
