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

Hi there,

I’m taking on Stride4Stroke this September and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help create a future with fewer strokes.

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.
