Stroke Youth Awareness Appeal
By: Stroke Association of Queensland Inc

What is this appeal for?

Stroke is a medical emergency, it can strike at any age, and prevention is the key. 48,000+ people are affected by Stroke each year in Australia, more than 8000 being Queenslanders. In order to continue our work in raising AWARENESS about stroke in the community, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

How will the funds be used?

To provide information about Stroke to our youth in the form of specially designed packages, to protect them from future strokes.

Funds raised will also go towards the provision of Stroke Information kits, which are available to members of the public at no cost.
