Dont Speak - Silence for Stroke

 Imagine what your life would be like if you couldn't speak?

Couldn't ask a question. Express an opinion. Tell your children you love them.

That's what every day is like for Peter Couche and thousands of stroke victims like him.

Get Involved!

Peter is determined to make a difference for people who have suffered stroke, but we need your help to do it!

Don't Speak for one hour on 16 September (during National Stroke Week) and have friends and colleagues sponsor your silence.

Just register at Don't Speak and email, facebook and tweet your friends, colleagues and family with your sponsorship link!

Funds raised will support pioneering research, at the University of Adelaide, aimed at developing brain repair therapies for stroke victims.

Please visit www.dontspeak.org.au to register your participation, sponsor a friend or make a donation.

We need your help to turn research into reality!

Thank you to our fundraising heroes who have already signed up to the campaign and helped us raise over $20,000 to date!

A Cocktail Affair - Peter Couche Foundation

At the age of 41, Peter Couche was a highly successful stockbroker and father of three living in London when he suffered a catastrophic brain-stem stroke. The stroke occurred 18 years ago and he has since lived with “Locked-In syndrome” – Peter’s brain is as sharp and active as ever but he has virtually no physical abilities.

Since his stroke, Peter has amazed everyone with his patience, persistence and positive attitude. Peter has established the Peter Couche Foundation in association with the University of Adelaide to raise funds to support the Stem Cell for Stroke research of the Robinson Institute. This research provides hope for brain repair treatment for stroke damaged brains using adult stem cells.

The Peter Couche Foundation raised over $23,000 for the Robinson Institute’s Stroke Research Program at a cocktail event held at the National Wine Centre on Friday 25th February 2010. Thank you to all who supported the event!!
