Christmas in July Afternoon Tea

By Shannon

Your donation will help deliver vital resources and programs.

I'm fundraising to prevent, treat and beat stroke!

I'm raising funds and awareness for Stroke Foundation to help prevent, treat and beat stroke.

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.

Here my speech:

Thank you to everyone who came today and supported our Christmas in July Afternoon Tea.

A huge thank you to everyone who generously donated their time, delicious food, raffle prizes and silent auction items. This event simply could not have taken place without your kindness, generosity and support. Thank you for Keith for providing the venue. 

To those who were unable to attend but still made a monetary donation, thank you so much.

We have made a real difference, and I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you for supporting  Stroke Foundation.

Stroke week is coming up.
Stroke foundation is a national that works to prevent stroke, save lives enhance recovery in Australia .Stroke can happen to any one, at any age anywhere

Stroke can happen at any age, and one in four people globally will have a stroke in their lifetime.

It is estimated that 440,481 people with a history of stroke were living in Australia in 2023

Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers. It kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer.

More than 80 percent of strokes can be prevented.

In 2023, 1 in 4 strokes occurred in people under the age of 65 years.
 
Regional Australians are 17 percent more likely to suffer a stroke than those in metropolitan areas.

Over 600 childhood and infant strokes happen each year in Australia

When a stroke strikes, it attacks up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute.

If there’s anything you take away from Today, take away the fast message F face A arms S Speech T Time
