In Australia, one stroke occurs every 11 minutes.

With current trends, it is estimated that the number of stroke events in Australia could increase to around...

72,000 strokes per year by 2050.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Every stroke is different and there is still so much to learn about the brain.

We still don't know why Chloe had a stroke.

As a healthy young mum, Chloe never expected to have a stroke, but on Grand Final day one year, that is exactly what happened.


"I had just jumped into the shower when I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded. Something wasn’t right. As soon as I stepped out of the shower, my left leg gave way. I collapsed to the ground. My husband, Grant, called for an ambulance straight away.

The first scans at the hospital showed nothing, it wasn’t until a CT scan the next day that a clot was visible. I was given medication and began rehab from there.

Just a month after my stroke, I was on day release from hospital and rehab, at home with my family. I noticed my left arm starting to shake, and my speech became slurred. My left side weakened again. I was rushed back to hospital. Another clot, another stroke. It was happening again."

We urgently need to understand why stroke strikes some people and why they can happen more than once.

With your help, we'll drive innovative research to give people like Chloe the best chance to live their life to their fullest potential post-stroke.
