TEAGAN IS SHAVING HER HEAD

By Teagan Richards Join Me

I'm shaving my head to prevent, treat and beat stroke!

Hi everyone! Teagan here. 

I am shaving my head this July to raise money and awareness for Stroke Foundation to help prevent, treat and beat stroke.

On the 26th of June, 2019, my dearest Grandmother, Ann, had a stroke. Thankfully she is still mobile and has full cognitive function but her speech is impaired - diminishing her ability to express herself. 

I have wanted to shave my head for a long time now but never had the guts to do it. I have decided that this year is the year!! The lives of my family members have been turned upside-down by Strokes and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. 

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.

So please, open your wallets! I'm not shaving these locks off for nothing! Together we can make a difference to stroke prevention, treatment and care.

p.s. All donations over $2 are tax deductable so get in before the 30th of June so you can claim it back on your tax return!!
