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.

The month is coming to an end! 

I will admit I have definitely not been as active as usual this month due to odd circumstances. However, as of 28/5/35 sit at 186km for the month of May and raised over $300 for Stroke prevention and research. I feel so blessed to be able to complete this fundraiser and I am so grateful to everyone who donated. 

Stroke research is a topic so close to my heart, thankyou to everyone who took the time to support this foundation!

17 days in!

Thursday 29th May
By the 17th Day I had already overcome the 131km in May goal set up by the Stroke Foundation and raised over the $150 fundraising goal! All proceeds go to the research in stroke prevention! 

Follow along!

Thursday 15th May
I got Covid! A few days of only walking the dogs in the evening but still keeping the steps up to raise money for Stroke Foundation! 

Increased the target goal as the $150 goal was smashed- thank you to everyone who has donated, it means so much to me and to everyone living post stroke. Thankyou!!!
