Trek the El Camino to support stroke research with Steps for Stroke

Help make a breakthrough in stroke research by joining us on Steps for Stroke, a trek throughout Spain’s beautiful El Camino from 7 - 20 May 2018.

Unfortunately, 65% of stroke survivors will suffer a severe disability. This not only impacts the life of the stroke survivor, but also their family, friends and caregivers.

By fundraising for Mater Foundation you’ll assist Professor Mike O’Sullivan and his team at Mater to carry on a project which, if successful, could lead to a better quality of life for stroke survivors.

"Trekking with a group of like-minded people with whom you share a special bond having fundraised for a worthy cause has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life. I would highly recommend it. Be warned you might be hooked forever!!!" 

Dr Amod Karnik Mater Senior Staff Specialist – Intensive Care
