I’m taking on Together4Stroke to raise funds for stroke prevention.

This March, I’m taking on Together4Stroke to raise funds to prevent stroke. I'm giving up my well-ingrained habit of ignoring the clock and avoiding the day for as long as possible. (And I'm sure there's also some personal health benefit from getting up and about and seeing what's so great about this morning business.)

Every 11 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia will have a stroke. During that hour of my blissful procrastination each morning, more than 5 people somewhere across Australia will have a stroke, and their life and that of their friends and families will change.

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, up to 120 babies and 400 children have a stroke in Australia each year.

By supporting me, you’ll be helping to fund vital stroke prevention initiatives led by Stroke Foundation, including:

• StrokeSafe Talks: Educating communities on what a stroke is, how to recognise it and what people can do to prevent it.
• Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check: High blood pressure is the single largest risk factor for stroke. This initiative helps Australians understand and manage their risk.
• Information Resources: Providing essential tools and guidance to help Australians take control of their health and reduce their risk of stroke.

Your support goes beyond just a donation—it’s a lifeline for individuals at risk of stroke and survivors rebuilding their lives.

Together, we can help prevent more strokes and save lives.

Thank you for your support!
