Stroke Foundation

Stroke Foundation is a national charity dedicated to preventing strokes, saving lives, and enhancing recovery. Ritchies is proud to support their mission through our Community Benefit Program. To date, we’ve donated $2,847.89, helping make a positive impact on the community.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in Australia. Over 45,000 Australians experienced a stroke in 2023 (one stroke event every 11 minutes!) and there are now over 440,000 survivors of stroke living in Australia.

Stroke can happen to anyone, and any age. 1 in 4 of strokes occurred in working-age Australians.

The economic impact of stroke in Australia is estimated to exceed $9 billion a year! That’s a lot of money.  And a lot of lives impacted by stroke. This statistic underscores the urgent need to address stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Stroke Foundation remains committed to reducing the burden of stroke through life-saving programs such as StrokeLine and awareness initiatives. Choosing Stroke Foundation as your beneficiary in the Ritchies Community Benefit Program means you’re directly supporting these critical efforts.

Together, we can help prevent stroke, save lives, and improve recovery outcomes for thousands of Australians.

Now, more than ever, your support is vital. Join us today in creating a future free of stroke. We have no time to waste when it comes to stroke!
