Stride 4 Stroke
December 21, 2016
Ain't nothing gonna break our stride!
Throughout November, Stroke Foundation supporters hit the streets in droves, walking, running, wheeling, cycling and even rollerblading in a community-wide effort to get moving while raising funds and awareness for the Stroke Foundation.
Our annual Stride4stroke campaign saw hundreds of stroke survivors, their families, carers and health professionals set incredible physical challenges, clocking almost 60,000 kilometres or more than 1400 marathons!
Stride4stroke participants and their supporters were united by one common purpose – to beat stroke.
Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers, it kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer.
One in six of us will have a stroke in our lifetime and its impact can be devastating. Most of our striders have seen this devastation first-hand, either having experienced a stroke themselves or watching a loved one suffer.
Together you raised more than $180,000, which will make an enormous difference to the thousands of stroke survivors and their families in the community. However we know there is still much to do.
Stride4stroke may have finished for 2016 but you can still be part of the Stride movement, supporting our mission to prevent, treat and beat stroke. A small donation will help us continue take great strides in the fight against stroke. Visit stride4stroke.org.au to get involved.
