I'm walking 100kms this May for Stroke Foundation
Hi there, I'm taking on the challenge of 100km 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.

131km in May: For Mum, For My Future
Monday 4th MayNext month marks four years since I lost my mum.
It was sudden, unexpected, and devastating. She was only 61 when she passed away from a stroke. What makes it even harder is that her own mother died in similar circumstances, at a similar age. It’s a pattern that’s difficult to ignore and one that, for a long time, I didn’t face the way I should have.
When Mum died, my world didn’t just pause, it unravelled. Instead of taking positive steps to protect my own health, I spiralled. Grief has a way of doing that. It clouds judgment, drains motivation, and makes even the simplest actions feel overwhelming.
But over time, something shifted.
I began to realise that if I didn’t make changes, I could be heading down the same path. And more importantly, I thought about my own kids and how I want to be there for them, to watch them grow, to share in their lives for as long as possible.
That’s why this May, I’m taking on a personal challenge: 131km across the month to raise awareness for stroke and to honour my mum.
This isn’t just about distance. It’s about commitment, accountability, and making a conscious choice to do better, for my health, for my family, and for my future.
Every kilometre is for her.
Every step is a reminder of what matters.
And every day is a chance to change the story.
This challenge is my way of moving forward.
For Mum.
For me.
For my kids.
Good Stuff Yas.
