Our Mission, Vission and Values
Tasmanian Iconic Walks
Tasmanian Iconic Walks offers an annual iconic walking experience in the Tasmanian wilderness. We encourage a team approach to fundraise before the event and a commitment to looking after your team mates on the day.
Mission of Tasmanian Iconic Walks
Raise funds to fulfill our vision via an experience of walking in the Tasmanian wilderness
Raise awareness of stroke
Promote prevention strategies for minimising the risk of stroke
Vision of Tasmanian Iconic Walks
We do this by promoting physical activity as a way of minimising the second highest risk factor for stroke occurrence, which is a low level of physical activity.
Through fundraising, Tasmanian Iconic Walks can provide a meaningful contribution to on the ground support for stroke survivors and helping individuals and families strive for better quality of life after a stroke.
We look forward to our ongoing commitment to supporting stroke survivors. We are proud to attract stroke survivors to our event who have demonstrated their recovery after a stroke.
Tasmanian Iconic Walks has raised over $160,000 from 4 events. 100% of this went to Stroke Foundation. From 2023 our charity of choice is Menzies Institute for Medical Research. They are developing a free online course to prevent stroke.
We look forward to further supporting stroke survivors and enhancng their lives. Attracting stroke survivors to our event is key to demonstrating you can make a recovery after a stroke.
