Fundraising for Stroke Prevention, Treatment and Recovery ...

Stroke attacks the brain, the human control centre, changing lives in an instant. It can happen to anyone, at any age and affects everyone differently.

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.

Today, there are over 445,000 people in our community whose lives have been changed by stroke and their number is growing.

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.

My Updates

I Did it !!

Friday 9th Sep
Something special about this photo... This is Alan my work colleague who acted quickly and was instrumental in getting me the medical attention. By the way he came circa 100 k's down to encourage me over the journey.

One Step At a Time !!

Tuesday 30th Aug
I need to recognise the work of my podiatrist, Dr George Murley, owner of "Complete Step" who has been invaluable helping me with some forefoot soreness and general podiatry issues. Huge thanks to Dr George !!

This is Clinton - Peninsula Sports Medicine

Wednesday 24th Aug
A big shout out to Clinton Watson - Principal at Peninsula Sports Medicine (PSM). His clientele includes lots of serious athletes and endurance athletes. (Then there's me !!) Clinton has been a great help to me over a number of years and especially in managing me through the preparation for September 4th, and indeed final advice for my tapering program for the big day.

Meet Jeanine Edmands from The Team

Friday 19th Aug
Jeanine is my Sports Massage Therapist. An Ultra Endurance athlete and and all round super person. I have to thank her not only for physical work on a creaking 70 year old frame, but her experience and insights and invaluable assistance for my mental preparartion and mindset about the day.

Great Support From Core24

Friday 19th Aug
My endeavour would not be possible without the work in organising and supporting me from Taryn, Health Manager at Core24 Mornington. Her enthusiasm and drive has been most welcome, especially with her management and Gym ownership behind it.

Wednesday 22nd Jun
To everyone the response has been incredible.  I am so grateful and what a great cause !!
We have to raise the goal !!
The trust that I can and will do this is not lost on me.  Let me just say, there are some great people managing and advising me on my preparation and training.  You will see more about this in coming days and meet them !!.
