I'm walking 131km this May for Stroke Foundation

Hi there, I'm taking on the challenge of 131km in May and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help create a future with fewer strokes.

Every day in Australia, 131 people will 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 supporting my challenge, you’ll be helping Stroke Foundation deliver life-changing programs that focus on:

  • Preventing stroke through education, awareness, and encouraging blood pressure checks

  • Saving lives by improving recognition and response — including awareness of the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) signs of stroke — and strengthening stroke care

  • Supporting recovery with trusted information, StrokeLine, and online communities for survivors and families

Your donation is more than a contribution — it helps people understand their risk, act faster in an emergency, and find support on the road to recovery.

Thank you so much for supporting me and being part of this challenge.

Together, we can help create a future with fewer strokes.

Dread and determination

Wednesday 22nd Apr
It’s getting close to go time and I’m still struggling to stand and walk without serious painkillers most days. 
I’m questioning my ability to complete the full kms but not willing to adjust my goal to the half distance before I give it a red hot go. 
I’m stubborn; a bit masochistic; and probably certifiably mad … and that might just be enough to perform a miracle!

Hoping someone else is mad enough to join my team too. 

Winter motivation

Thank goodness I can include bike riding for this one, as I’m not sure if my hip and knee are going to play nice enough for me to walk over four kms a day. 
But attempt it I will!!

Join with my team Aphasic Action to help raise funds for this important foundation. 
Having availed of their support in 2020/21 I know how important having access to information at critical times can be. 
The support is a great relief when much seems bleak and daunting. 

I know times are hard right now, but even small donations help immensely, and this one is going to be a huge effort from me given my current mobility issues.  

It’s going to hurt; but it’s worth it because strokes can be life changing events that affect the whole family as well as being a mountain to recover from for the person having it. 
This goes out to all the hero’s who push themselves so hard to recover and thrive.
