Help share the F.A.S.T signs of stroke

I'm raising funds and awareness for National Stroke Week to help fight stroke!

This year, during National Stroke Week (8 – 14 August 2022) we are celebrating the precious moments that you or your loved one’s can continue to enjoy during and after your recovery.

I am fundraising for Stroke Foundation to help others to keep enjoying precious moments and I'll be sharing the F.A.S.T. (Face. Arms. Speech. Time) signs of stroke.

Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:

  • Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
  • Arms Can they lift both arms?
  • Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
  • Time is critical. If you see any of these signs call triple zero (000) immediately.

If you or someone you know experiences the signs of stroke, no matter how long they last, call triple zero (000) immediately.

With our help, Stroke Foundation can continue raising awareness of the F.A.S.T message and fund research to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.

Thank you for your support.
