I'm walking 100 this May for Stroke Foundation

This cause is incredibly personal to me. Last year in February, I suffered two strokes. I’m extremely lucky,  with the help of amazing doctors, nurses, neurologists, cardiology teams, and physical therapists, I’ve been able to return to living a normal life. But not everyone is as fortunate.

Every day in Australia, 131 people experience a stroke. It’s one of the country’s biggest killers and can affect anyone, at any time. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Even more confronting, strokes impact babies and children too.

By supporting my challenge, you’ll be helping the Stroke Foundation:
• Prevent stroke through education, awareness, and blood pressure checks
• Save lives by improving recognition and response, including awareness of the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) signs
• Support recovery through trusted information, StrokeLine, and communities for survivors and families

Your donation will help people understand their risk, act quickly in an emergency, and access the support they need to recover.

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