I’m taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation!
I'm striding for my son Elisha.
He was 16, had recently finished his first ATAR exams of Year 11 and had a stroke at school.
We were fortunate to already know he was at risk of stroke, so he got medical attention quickly.
He'd had a hemorrhagic stroke and was in the hospital and rehab for 99 days.
His lasting side effects are fatigue and some left side deficits.
Elisha had a second stroke at 18. He has an AVM which is untreatable with current medical technological abilities, making him still at risk for stroke.
Hi there, I'm taking on the challenge of Stride4Stroke and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.
Did you know that stroke is one of Australia's biggest killers and there is one stroke every 19 minutes, even though more than 80% of strokes can be prevented? Stroke Foundation is committed to a world free from disability and suffering caused by stroke.
Your support can make a significant difference, and I kindly ask you to help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation. It only takes a minute, and any amount you can give, no matter how large or small, will go a long way in supporting the Stroke Foundation's vital work.
With your generosity, the Stroke Foundation will be able to:
Prevent Stroke: By empowering a greater proportion of adult Australians to recognize the modifiable risk factors for stroke, we can increase their chances of preventing stroke and living healthier lives.
Save Lives: Your support will enable hospitals and healthcare providers across Australia to enhance their capabilities in stroke care and rehabilitation services, ultimately saving more lives.
Enhance Recovery: By reaching out to those affected by stroke, the Stroke Foundation ensures that more Australians can access reliable information, resources, and essential post-stroke support, promoting a better recovery journey for stroke survivors.
Your donation will directly contribute to these critical initiatives, bringing hope, assistance, and improved outcomes to stroke survivors and their families.
Thank you for your support. Your generosity means a lot to me.
So far I have helped Stroke Foundation deliver…
Advice and support from a health professional on StrokeLine
Stroke recovery packs to 3 survivors of stroke.
Training to a StrokeSafe volunteer to deliver community talks.
Funding to stroke researchers to find the next game-changer in stroke.
Thank you to my Sponsors
