Raising 21K whilst I run 21k to celebrate my post stroke journey
I would like to invite my colleagues, family and friends to join me in raising funds and awareness for the Stroke Foundation.
By setting the goal of running 21km in the 2022 Melbourne Marathon, I'm hoping to show recovering from a stroke is possible, it's hard but possible! After March 2018 the concept of walking again was a tough one so to run a half marathon again with the support of my family, friends and colleagues that got me to where I am today would be a great celebration of the journey undertaken over the last 4 years.
I hope to raise vital awareness of the signs of stroke and achieve my goal of raising $21,000.
You can donate directly to my page. If you're intending to join me on my run, please be sure to purchase your tickets on the Melbourne Marathon website Nike Marathon - Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival
Few people will think about stroke until it touches their life.
It’s estimated more than 27,400 people will have a stroke in Australia for the first time in 2022, equating to one stroke every nineteen minutes.
Stroke Foundation is a national charity that partners with the community to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.
With your support, Stroke Foundation can provide support to those affected right now and fund research to fight stroke.
Join me today in making a difference to stroke prevention, treatment and care.

Beeva, you’re an inspiration mate. Before the stroke I knew you were determined. Scraping together and getting up in the air. Chasing your dreams and doing it your own way. Now everyone can see just how tough you are. You’ve never given up and now you’ve got a chance to make it better for other people. Good work mate.
