I'm walking 131km this May for Stroke Foundation

I’m taking on 131km this May to support the Stroke Foundation 💛

Why 131? Because every single day in Australia, 131 people experience a stroke.

Stroke is one of the country’s biggest killers and it doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone, at any time. It takes more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Even more heartbreaking, strokes impact around 120 babies and 400 children in Australia each year.

By supporting my challenge, you’re helping fund life-changing work that focuses on:

• Preventing stroke through education and awareness  

• Saving lives by improving recognition of the F.A.S.T (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) signs  

• Supporting recovery for survivors and their families  

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. At the end of September last year, my sister suffered multiple strokes in the back of her brain. She has had to relearn how to live — to walk, to talk — and she continues to fight every single day. She is truly an inspiration, and we are so lucky to still have her with us.

Every donation, share, or bit of support means more than you know. Together, we can help create a future with fewer strokes 🤍
