Casey Stoner

Casey Stoner is an Australian former motorbike racer, and winner of multiple World Champion titles, and an ambassador for Emerge Australia who lives with ME/CFS.

ME/CFS
Casey Stoner began suffering from ME/CFS in 2018, and has been battling the illness since. In an interview in 2019 Stoner said "I realised something was wrong when golf was becoming a really physical sport for me. I’ve been on and off different tablets to try to combat that and get me through the day a little bit more.” Stoner revealed that despite being a former world champion professional motorbike racer, he was struggling to ride even as a hobbyist, saying "I don't have the energy to go out there and do that for the day, it'll put me in the couch for another week." In 2020, Stoner described living with ME/CFS as "this disease is destroying me".
