I'm walking 131km this May for Stroke Foundation
Hi there, I'm taking on the challenge of 131km in May and raising funds for Stroke Foundation to help create a future with fewer strokes.
Every day in Australia, 131 people will 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, up to 120 babies and 400 children have a stroke in Australia each year.
By supporting my challenge, you’ll be helping Stroke Foundation deliver life-changing programs that focus on:
-
Preventing stroke through education, awareness, and encouraging blood pressure checks
-
Saving lives by improving recognition and response — including awareness of the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) signs of stroke — and strengthening stroke care
-
Supporting recovery with trusted information, StrokeLine, and online communities for survivors and families
Your donation is more than a contribution — it helps people understand their risk, act faster in an emergency, and find support on the road to recovery.
Thank you so much for supporting me and being part of this challenge.
Together, we can help create a future with fewer strokes.
My Updates
Why this fundraiser means so much to me.
Monday 4th MayAs a nurse working on a ward where we care for stroke patients, I see firsthand the life-changing impact a stroke can have—not just on individuals, but on their families and support networks too. It’s something that stays with you long after a shift ends.
This May, I’m challenging myself to walk 131 kilometres to raise funds for the Stroke Foundation. Every step represents the people I’ve cared for, their resilience, and the long road to recovery that so many face.
Through my work, I’ve witnessed both the devastating effects of stroke and the incredible strength people show in rebuilding their lives. That’s why this cause means so much to me.
The funds raised will go towards vital research, prevention programs, and support services that make a real difference in people’s lives.
If you’re able to support, donate, or even just share this page, it would mean a lot. Together, we can help reduce the impact of stroke and support those affected on their recovery journey.
