Results Ade and Kate deliver

“The audience of stroke survivors, carers and health professionals were most interested to hear your stroke story and appreciated your honest and frank description of your experience. Your presentation was filled with humour, inspiration and vulnerability, which had the audience laughing and crying.”

Comments from Audience members:

‘Ade had us laughing and crying at the same time…’
‘Thanks Ade and Kate for telling your story straight from the heart’
‘…loved Ade’s tips for staying positive-a very brave man!’
‘What a gorgeous loving couple!’

-Suzanne Teese, Stroke Association of Victoria

“Their talk was interesting, their audience was very engaged and Ade and Kate had clearly gone to a lot of effort in planning their presentation. They used handouts and a practical exercise so that the audience could get involved and their humour, interactions and engaging personalities all helped to maintain interest. Ade and Kate clearly have an important message about health, stroke prevention and maintaining a positive attitude to share and I would highly recommend them to speak for any organisation.”

– Phil McCrory, Case Manager, ABI Services, Melbourne City Mission

“The feedback from an audience of mainly film and TV creators, was very positive and I believe would have made a lasting impact on their thinking. Ade’s story took the audience on a journey through his experience surviving a stroke and had the audience laughing and also quite moved by his resilience. I can highly recommend Ade and Kate as compelling and engaging speakers.”

– Sarah Barton, Chief Executive Officer, Disability Media Australia

The goal of the Food For Thought event was to offer a different perspective about stroke and to raise critical funds to allow us to continue our important work. We achieved this goal with your support of the event and also your kind donation which helped us raise in excess of $100,000 on the night.”
