Prevent Stroke. Savel Lives. Enhance Recovery

Hello

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

In the next 19 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, even unborn babies. 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.

On a personal note, a couple of years ago I had a 'mini' stroke however was fortunate enough to receive early intervention and made a full recovery. As a Registered Nurse, this was a scary experience - sometimes ignorance is bliss - but not in this case. I know I was lucky, and this experience had a profound effect on how I view individuals who have had a stroke and their ongoing needs.

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