Jacky Boy’s 58 for YOU πŸ’™ & for stroke survivor's.

By Jack Buckley Join Me

58FORYOU 58 half marathons in 58 days πŸ’™

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

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.

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

πŸ’™ Preventing Stroke:

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

Β πŸ’™ Saving Lives:

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

Β πŸ’™ 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

58FORYOU πŸ’™

Tuesday 1st Apr
On February 26th my siblings and I unfortunately lost our beautiful mum to a ischemic stroke. The medical teams done everything they could to save our mum but unfortunately we were advised by the medical professionals our mum wouldn’t make it and had to make the difficult decision to switch off her life support. Mum was young, healthy with a whole life ahead of her, this just goes to show stroke can affect anyone and everyone no matter the age or how healthy you are. So I’ve decided on August 10th through until October 6th I will be attempting to run 58 half marathons in 58 days to raise awareness in prevention of stroke and enhancing the recovery for stroke survivors. This will be an incredibly difficult challenge but I’m determined to make it happen and get it done as this is a cause that’s now very close to my heart. Hopefully I can also inspire others to challenge themselves and prove you’re capable of anything. So get behind me let’s get amongst it because this 58sFORYOU mum πŸ’™
