Stroke is responsible for 1 in 10 deaths in Australia. We need to raise urgently needed funds to continue our work in a number of areas to reduce the incidence and burden of stroke in Australia.
If you would like to make your donation in support of Mr. Adrian O'Malley's Tasmanian walk, please mention his name in the "Special messages" section of the next page.
Why are we collecting funds?
The National Stroke Foundation is the national agency for stroke and the only one that is 100% focussed on stroke. We are a non-profit organisation and rely heavily on donations from Australians.
