131km in May Challenge 2025

I'm walking 131km this May for Stroke Foundation

I’m making a difference by walking 131km this May and fundraising for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery for survivors of stroke.

Everyday 131 Australian's 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.

By supporting me, you'll be contributing to sustaining vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides, including:

💙 Preventing Stroke:

  • StrokeSafe Talks
  • Australia's Biggest Blood Pressure Check
  • Information Resources

 💙 Saving Lives:

  • F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) Signs of Stroke Awareness
  • Living Guidelines for Stroke Management
  • InformMe Website for Health Professionals

 💙 Enhancing Recovery:

  • StrokeLine
  • My Stroke Journey
  • EnableMe Website for Survivors of Stroke

Your support goes beyond just a donation; it's a lifeline for individuals at risk of stroke and survivors of stroke.

Thank you for supporting me. Together we can change the state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.

My Updates

I made it !!!!

Monday 26th May
Woohoo.   134km ticked over for my 131km Stroke Foundation Walking challenge 
A few days to spare too which I am extremely proud to report 
Thanks so much to my supporters. I wouldn’t have kept going without you.   
So what’s next I hear you ask.   I can’t simply stop as I am feeling much more healthy so my goal is to continue to walk 25km per week in the hope my own health remains great.   

Day 24 update

Sunday 25th May
Day 24 and I’ve hit 130km
I had no idea when I commenced this challenge how people would support me and would also share their heart wrenching stroke stories 
I am proud I have nearly made it to 131km and will continue through to 31/5 and see how far I go
Thanks again to my family and friends for supporting me 

Update Day 20

Tuesday 20th May
Day 20 and I’ve completed 103 kms with only 28 to go to reach my goal of 131 kms by 31/5
As the weather gets colder it is getting a bit more difficult to get moving but with my friends motivating me, the job is a little easier.   

Day 8 of Stroke Foundation 131km walk challenge

Thursday 8th May
Day 8 done and dusted and I have completed 53km’s so far.  78 km’s to go !!   Lots of time on the golf course certainly helps !! 
Thanks to everyone’s support when they see me too as that really spurs me along as I complete this challenge for my family and friends who have suffered Strokes.  

Day I of the Stroke Foundation 131 km walk
