STEPtember 24

It’s STEPtember! And we are busy walking 10,000+ steps per day to raise money for life-changing care and support for babies, children and adults with cerebral palsy and developmental disabilities.
STEPtember is special to us. Our son, Sage, is a bubbly, inquisitive five-year-old. He loves crabs, swinging in our garden hammock and playing with his sisters. Sage has a genetic ‘misspelling’ of a gene called SCN8A. This means he has extra challenges with movement and communication, along with other diagnoses including epilepsy. Sage changed our world; he brought an incredible depth and beauty to our lives that we could have never anticipated, and we are so lucky. He is an incredible kid who continues to smash every expectation set by his medical team.
He keeps me working hard too! I work as a researcher at Cerebral Palsy Alliance and my work focuses on developing exciting new therapies for people with cerebral palsy and developmental disabilities. This is driven by a belief in equity, opportunity and full and meaningful participation; a belief in a world of opportunity for people with cerebral palsy and developmental disabilities. Your donations will help to make this a reality for millions of children, like our Sage. Thank you for getting behind us as our family aims to keep up the momentum of hitting 10,000+ steps per day! We are almost there!

Why STEPtember is important to me

Every 20 hours, an Australian child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

I'm STEPing up this September to fundraise to support Cerebral Palsy Alliance in their mission to help people with cerebral palsy live their best lives.

STEPtember participants are passionate about being healthy, building a more inclusive world and making a life-changing impact for people with cerebral palsy.

Will you STEP up with me for cerebral palsy?
