Spread Awareness. Prevent Stroke. Save Lives.
We're excited to share that we're running and raising funds for stroke survivors and their families. We, a team of healthcare professionals are taking on a challenging 3-day race, pushing a wheelbarrow over 140km from Mareeba to Chillagoe from 9th to 11th of May.
In the next 11 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia is going to have a stroke.
Stroke is one of Australia's biggest killers and doesn't discriminate; it affects anyone, anytime. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. And incredibly, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.
By supporting our team, you'll be contributing to sustaining vital programs and resources that 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) Signs of Stroke Awareness
- Living Guidelines for Stroke Management
- InformMe Website for Health Professionals
Enhancing Recovery:

Your support goes beyond just a donation; it's a lifeline for individuals at risk of stroke and survivors of stroke. We're walking, pushing and persevering to make a difference for stroke survivors and their families.
Thank you for supporting our team. Together we can change the state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.
