I'm fundraising to prevent, treat and beat stroke!
As a survivor of stroke, I know how scary it is. I also know I'm lucky that someone close to me realised what was happening and called an ambulance.
In gratitude for my level of recovery, I celebrate every day, and every opportunity.
In November, I'll be in Antarctica, as a documentary photographer.
Call me crazy, but I'm willing to take the 'Polar Plunge', if you're willing to sponsor me :-)
Yep, I'll jump in to the Antarctic waters. My teeth are chattering already!
Every donor will be emailed with proof of the plunge - there WILL be photos!
So please, give generously, with all money going to Stroke Foundation.
Thanks, so much, for your encouragement.
Cheers, Heidi.

Amazing effort Heidi - above (or should that be below) and beyond. Truly inspiring. I wish I could offer some of my excess padding to ease the plunge but, in lieu of that, you have my very, very, very warmest wishes
