I'm walking 131km in May in honour of my friend, Patrick

By Christine B Join Me

May is Stroke Awareness Month. I am walking 131km, representing the 131 people in Australia who suffer a stroke every day

In April 2022, my best mate Patrick suffered a stroke. He never regained consciousness and tragically on 1st May 2022, he passed away.

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. And incredibly, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.
