Why your help is important

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, up to 120 babies and 400 children have a stroke in Australia each year.

By taking part in Strokes4Stroke you'll be helping to sustain vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides, including:
