Connection to Stroke Foundation

As a young person with Lived Experience of stroke, it was important to me to align with an organization that I could identify with and trust.

Over the last 10 years I have sought out the Stroke Foundation for community connection, information about my physical and hidden impacts and confidential talks to help me move forward.

I have enjoyed partnering with the Stroke Foundation in many ways via the Young Stroke Project, content and feedback for the websites, the Living Guidelines Consumer Panel and participating in research projects.

I have been onboarded as the Queensland Representative for the StrokeLink Steering Committee and the Consumer Council - I am proud of these honorary positions and the value that my lived experience can contribute to continue to improve services and support for our stroke community.

Recently I met with the Queensland branch of the Stroke Foundation. We had many great conversations over lunch!
