Support a 55 year tradition of supporting kids with Cerebral Palsy
From 1 September my family and I will, once again, be taking on the challenge of completing 10,000 steps a day, for the entire month of Steptember to raise vital funds for Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
Our team, Walking for Russell, is named for my grandfather, Russell Whitmont, who ran 25 City to Surf's raising over $120, 000 for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (then called The Spastic Centre of NSW). I had the great privilege of accompanying Pappa on almost half of these runs, plus another 15 in support of the cause before hanging up my running shoes, however, the desire to support the Cerebral Palsy Alliance must be in my blood.
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood. One in two people with cerebral palsy are in chronic pain due to the tightening of their muscles.
Hayley and I, together with our two kids, are committing to 1, 200,000 steps between us in the month of Steptember in support of people with CP, many will never be able to take a single step without assistance.
Any amount you contribute will make a huge difference to children and adults living with cerebral palsy and of course encourage me to complete my 10,000 steps per day!
Thank you so much for any assistance that you can provide . . . and for agreeing to walk with me!
P.S. You’ll receive an automated receipt as every donation over $2 is tax deductible.
