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. This is very close to home for us with Glen having a stroke on June 27th 2025. He was only 43 years old when it happened. And whilst we are one of the lucky ones cause he is still with us and able to walk and talk, the lasting affects of the stroke have been life altering for him and also our family.
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.

ONE DAY TO GO
Wednesday 29th Apr Well, here we are the night before there is only one day to go before we start our goal of walking 131km and thanks to some amazing people already, I have almost reached my fundraising goal already. Feeling so blessed to have people supporting this great cause. We have done a little km practice over last weekend and I can confirm I am very unfit and the dogs definitely took me for a walk instead of the other way around. But we smashed out a good 6.5km walk in 1hr and 8mins. We might start our walks a little slower for the start of May but hopefully but the end we will be smashing out some more fast km and reaching that goal of 131km. So, thanks again for supporting me in raising money and raising awareness about stroke detection and treatment ShareThank you to my Sponsors

Great cause, I had my stroke 20 years ago when I was 44, no warning signs. Everything comes against you, but we are so lucky that there is Stroke wards, I was air lifted to Sydney where I stayed for 3 weeks, if it wasn’t for their knowledge, I wouldn’t be here today. Stay strong Glen.
