131km in May 2026

We're taking on 131km in May to help create a future with fewer strokes

Hi there, our team is 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 our team, you’re 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

Every step we take — and every dollar raised — helps people understand their risk, act faster in an emergency, and find support after stroke.

Thank you for supporting our team and being part of this challenge.

Together, we can create a future with fewer strokes.

Thank you to our Sponsors
