In 2022 I received a phone call from my Mum that no one wants to hear  “Your father has had a Stroke and is in the hospital”. 

In the next 11 minutes, someone, somewhere in Australia is going to 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, around 600 Australian children experience stroke each year.

In February 2025 I’m aiming to complete one of my biggest physical challenges yet- The Rottnest Channel Swim, a 20km swim from the beach at Cottesloe to Rottnest Island with the help of my wonderful support crew. 

I would like to fundraise for Stroke Foundation to help prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery for survivors of stroke.

By supporting me, you'll be contributing to sustaining vital programs and resources that Stroke Foundation provides, including:

💙 Preventing Stroke

💙 Saving Lives

💙 Enhancing Recovery

Without the incredible advances in the medical management of Stoke and the wonderful rehabilitation team at The Gold Coast Hospital my Dad may not be with us today. 

Thank you for supporting me. Together we can change the state of stroke in Australia for generations to come.
