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.

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.

Why I’m Walking 131km in May

Friday 1st May
As a clinician working with people who live with brain injury, I see every day how suddenly life can change after a stroke. One moment there is a familiar sense of self, independence and certainty. The next, everything is different.
This May, I’m walking 131km for the 131 Australians who experience a stroke every single day.

In my work, I sit alongside people recovering from stroke as they process changes others can’t always see, changes in memory, concentration, confidence, identity. I see the impact on families who are learning, often overnight, how to care, adapt and reimagine their futures. Stroke is not just a medical event; it's one that deeply impacts our lives. 

Walking 131km in May is to support vital stroke prevention and recovery because every step matters and together we can create a future with fewer strokes and better supports.
