I am Nadia, although I was previously in good healthand had a healthy lifestyle on 1 September 2019, 1 month short of my 45th birthday, I suffered a massive Right-Middle Cerebral Ischemic Artery Stroke resulting in paralysis of the left side of my body. In the interest of progressing rehabilitation I set myself the goal of completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on my 50th birthday (9 October 2024)*UPDATE* I am now targetting December as I didn't raise enough funds in time to hit the October target.. Over the last 2-3 years I have been working with a physiotherapist to ready myself to achieve this goal. But I require assistance with travel costs.
