STRIKE OUT STROKE® has been developed and is being directed by an independent group of volunteers with varying professional backgrounds, who are deeply concerned about the current statistics of stroke. We have developed this very exciting campaign with the vision – To enhance awareness and promote early recognition of the symptoms of stroke and B.E. F.A.S.T. for treatment. To raise funds for research and support services for those affected by stroke. We have partnered with Softball Australia with whom we have developed a 45 minute game of Tee Ball or Softball, to be followed by a fun maximum 30 minute activity to be held in the classroom. The program will, in an enjoyable way, educate students in Grades 3 - 6 (equivalent Grades 4 - 7 in some states) about the symptoms of stroke, while stressing the need to lead a healthy lifestyle, with the hope and aim of reducing the incidence of stroke, particularly in young people. All participating children will be appointed “Stroke Ambassadors” and will be given a medal.
