Stroke Fundraiser

Stroke attacks the brain, the human control centre, changing lives in an instant. It can happen to anyone, of any age and affects everyone differently. It’s estimated more than 27,400 people will have a stroke in Australia for the first time in 22'.

That's one person every 19 minutes.

Tina Monserrate, the mother of one of our Senior Students,

is taking part in Run Melbourne 2022 to help @strokefoundation

prevent, treat and beat stroke.

Anything you can chip in would mean so much to her and her family. #TeamStroke https://runmelbourne22.grassrootz.com/strokefoundation/tina-monserrate
