I'm walking 131km this May for Stroke Foundation

This May we are taking on a huge challenge — walking 131km to raise funds for stroke research.

We are doing this for two incredibly strong women — my grandmother and Glen's mum — both affected by stroke. Seeing the impact it has had on the people we love is something I’ll never forget.

This walk is personal. Every kilometre is for them, for their strength, and for every family who has had their lives changed by stroke.

If you’re able to support us, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this post, it would truly mean the world. Together we can help fund life-changing research and give hope to so many.

Thank you for walking this journey with me 💛

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.
