Prevent Stroke. Savel Lives. Enhance Recovery
Running for recovery, resilience, and a future without stroke đź’™
In 2015, at just 24 years old, my life changed forever when I survived a stroke.
Since then, my journey has been one of recovery, resilience, and discovering what is possible after a life-changing event. Recovery hasn’t always been easy - there have been challenges, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty, but there have also been incredible milestones that I never thought I would achieve.
Now, I’m taking on a new challenge: Nike After Dark Sydney.
I’m not just running for myself. I’m running to raise awareness and funds for the Stroke Foundation and to support the thousands of Australians whose lives are impacted by stroke every year.
In the next 11 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia is going to have a stroke.
Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and doesn’t discriminate - it can affect anyone, anytime. It claims more lives than breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Incredibly, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.
Through my Instagram community, @mystrokeofinspiration, I share the honest side of recovery - the wins, setbacks, fears, and achievements, to show other stroke survivors that their story doesn’t end with a diagnosis.
