𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 👣 This May, Croí challenges you to increase your steps every day throughout the month. 🚶♂️ Did you know? 💭 Each year, 7,500 people in Ireland have a stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of acquired disability and the third leading cause of death in Ireland. Over 30,000 people are living in the community with a disability as a result of stroke. By taking part in the Steps for Stroke challenge you will help Croí support stroke survivors, their caregivers, and families to overcome challenges by offering valuable support in their recovery. 🫶 We aim for this challenge to inspire individuals to embrace an active lifestyle! 🚶♀️ Physical activity helps to lower your risk of heart disease and stroke by lowering your blood pressure, increasing your ‘good’ cholesterol levels, helping you maintain a healthy weight and by keeping your heart healthy. ❤️ Register and donate €15 in aid of Croí. All participants will receive a Croí snood on completion!

I’m getting breathless for asthma! Asthma Australia have just launched Huff & Puff, an activity-based fundraising campaign. I’m challenging myself to 10 days straight of fitness activity because, unlike people with asthma like my son I can breathe easily. I want to stand with him and really experience what it’s like, even just for a moment, to struggle to breathe. Asthma is responsible for at least 1 Australian death every day and around 100 hospitalisations every day. Over 80% of these hospitalisations are considered potentially avoidable. 1 in 9 Australians are directly impacted by asthma, with children like my son being the most impacted. You can show your support by using the Donate button. Your support will fund ground-breaking research and provide free support programs and services to the asthma community, like 1800 ASTHMA. A telephone information support service that receives around 20 calls a day from people with asthma and their carers. If you or a loved one suffers from asthma, I encourage you register for Huff & Puff and get active. #asthma #asthmachampion

🔬 Support Our Mission to Combat Delirium 🧠 Delirium—an acute, severe state of confusion—affects around 13% of hospital patients in Australia, often extending stays by up to three weeks. This complex condition is frequently undiagnosed, creating significant challenges for patient care. Leading researcher of Internal Medicine and Aged Care at RBWH, Professor Alison Mudge and her team have already made some powerful progress, including working with external partners to develop Eat Walk Engage® – a multi-disciplinary program that improves care for older people in hospital, prevents delirium and promotes faster recovery. Since it's establishment, the program has seen a remarkable 47% reduction in delirium rates of participants, providing safer care and getting older patients home to their families sooner. But the work isn't done yet. This month, the RBWH Foundation is raising funds to help improve outcomes for thousands of people affected by delirium, and other similar conditions, right across Australia.
