I'm gonna walk ... and keep walking as far as I can! Read at the end ...

Out of the blue, in 2017, I experienced 3 Strokes. With a statistical chance of surviving and recovering at just 1% (that's a figure you just don't want to hear!) and not having any risk factors that would cause a Stroke, I have had first-hand experience about what approx. 9,000 N.Z.rs go through every year. With no ACC funding, limited post-hospital help and on-going therapy to be funded by the patient, a Stroke has more devastating consequences than just the brain damage and associated difficulties. The Stroke Foundation was fundamental in helping me recover and return to work - and they are primarily self-funded through donations and grants.

On Sunday 13th April 2025 I will be joining the Christchurch Marathon and participating in the 10km walk. So... please donate and please sponsor me! However, in addition to the 10km, I intend on continuing walking just as far as my feet and body will allow me to! So, while I will be going 'off-course' at the end, I will keep track of how much further I walk, so what I am hoping for is additional Sponsorship for every extra km I walk. Please text me (027-210 0743) your pledge and I will let you know how far I end up walking. No pain, no gain! (N.B. yes, you can 'cap' the amount, as I genuinely do not know how far I can walk! - or, be a devil and take the risk and sponsor me 'till I drop!) Wouldn't it be amazing if I could raise $5,000!!!
