A Man Named Don Imagine Mark Donaldson A Man Named Don This Sunday, host Chris Bath presents a very special report on a man named Don. Devoted husband of almost 50 years to his wife Maureen, Don loves his daughters and his grandkids. But Don’s life changed forever on April 9, 2009 when he suffered a stroke. Don is Chris Bath’s father. Every 10 minutes in Australia, someone has stroke. It’s the second biggest killer in the country, but 80 per cent of strokes are preventable.

She also highlights the work being done on the other side of the world by two pioneering Australian doctors transforming stroke rehabilitation and offering hope to thousands of survivors. Chris delivers her wake-up call to the government about the real effect of strokes in this emotional and brutally honest report.

In 2002, to get his life back on track, Donaldson joined the army. Two
