Our team is taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!

Hey!

We're taking on Stride4Stroke this September and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help create a future where fewer people experience the devastating impact of stroke.

This September we will be running the Stockton Sunrise Run Half Marathon, contributing minutes to the challenge while running for those whose lives have been impacted by stroke and who may no longer be able to do the things they once could.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. In July, my Grandma, who we call Granky, had a stroke. I'm moving for her, and for the thousands of Australian families whose lives are changed by stroke.

My Granky and Grandad are always the first people I share what's happening in my life with. Whether it's another event I've somehow convinced myself to sign up for, a new challenge, or something I've achieved with my studies. And if I haven't told everyone else, I can guarantee their local church community already knows. They're my biggest supporters and have always celebrated every milestone alongside me, and I am very lucky to call them my grandparents.

Anyone who knows my Granky knows there's never a dull moment when she's around. She's got a great sense of humour, always has a story to tell, and has a way of making people smile. While stroke has changed parts of her life, it definitely hasn't changed the character she is.

Almost 47,000 Australians will have a stroke this year. That’s one every 11 minutes.

This year, every $11 raised represents one stroke expected in Australia. I’m aiming to make as much impact as I can, and I’d love your support!

Your donation will help fund vital programs and services that:

💚 Prevent stroke through education and awareness

💚 Support people and families when stroke happens

💚 Help survivors of stroke recover and rebuild their lives

Every dollar truly makes a difference.

Thank you so much for supporting me. Together, we can help change the story of stroke.
