STEPtember 24

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

As many of you know, I live with cerebral palsy. whilst it certainly has its challenges, it also offers opportunities for growth and resilience. This September, I'm participating in STEPtember, a global health and wellness fundraising event that supports life-changing cerebral palsy research and disability innovation.


Why STEPtember? Cerebral palsy is a prevalent lifelong physical disability, yet it remains significantly underfunded. By committing to 10,000 steps a day, I aim to raise awareness and funds to advance research and develop new technologies that can enhance the lives of people with CP as well as provide critical early interventions for children.


This year, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means to live with a disability. Cerebral palsy poses significant challenges for me every single day, from physical limitations to societal barriers. However, these challenges have also shaped my resilience and determination. Participating in STEPtember is not just about taking steps; it’s about making strides towards a more inclusive and accessible world. Every step I take is a testament to the strength and perseverance of those living with CP.


I welcome you to join me in this meaningful journey. Whether through a donation, sharing this post, or participating in STEPtember yourself, every bit of support contributes. Together, we can create a significant impact.


Thank you for your support and encouragement. Let's step up for cerebral palsy!

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?
