The Stork was created by Fiona Thomas in 2014 after she realised many of her friends were single in their 30s, hadn’t met ‘the one’ yet and were close to missing their fertility window. “I think if you can meet someone and fall in love and have the fairy tale then great – go for it,” Thomas told The Independent.

Charity money raised by teenager whose sister died of cancer stolen by thieves

The professional physiotherapist, who regularly works with Australian Olympians at the University of Melbourne, suggests hitting 85 per cent of your maximum exertion levels for the limited window either by skipping, sprinting or by doing star jumps.
