Your success = more strokes prevented
Every dollar raised and every habit you cut back helps fund life-saving stroke prevention programs. You’re making a real difference.
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.
Yet, the good news is 80% of strokes are preventable.
By fundraising for The Big Cutback, you’re helping support vital stroke prevention initiatives — like the StrokeSafe Speaker Program, Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check, and life-saving information resources — all working to cut back how many Australians experience a stroke.
StrokeSafe Speakers
Our StrokeSafe speakers deliver presentations to community groups across Australia on what a stroke is, how to recognise it and what people can do to prevent it.
