The Big Cutback is a fundraising challenge where participants cut back on a habit—like alcohol or sugar—for the month of March. By cutting back, participants raise awareness and funds to support vital stroke prevention initiatives like StrokeSafe Speaker Program; Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check; and Information Resources. 

1. Choose a habit to cut back during March, such as alcohol, sugar or another daily habit. 
2. Register online to set up your fundraising page. 
3. Invite friends and family to support your journey or join you in the challenge. 
4. Raise funds and spread awareness to help prevent strokes for more Australians.

Cutting back on a habit is a symbolic act of commitment. It not only challenges you personally but also makes it easier to start conversations about stroke prevention.

Every conversation you spark and donation you raise helps us educate communities about stroke risk and prevention. 

Funds raised go directly to Stroke Foundation to support vital stroke prevention initiatives like StrokeSafe Speaker Program; Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check; and Information Resources. 

Yes! Whether it’s alcohol, sugar, coffee, fast food or even TV, choose something meaningful for you. The goal is to make a personal commitment that encourages conversations and fundraising.
