I'm taking on Steptember! Will you please show your support?

Hi! I've joined my Estimating colleagues for STEPTEMBER, committing to 7,500 steps a day for a month. Turns out "just sitting at my desk building up the tender" doesn't count towards the total, so I actually have to get up and move. Send help.

I'll be pacing hallways during client calls, taking the long way to the printer, and finding any excuse to walk to someone's desk instead of just emailing them (revolutionary, I know). If you catch me doing laps of the car park at lunch, that's not a mental health crisis — that's just today's step count.

Here's the thing that actually matters: every dollar raised goes towards cerebral palsy therapy and support for babies in their first 1,000 days of life. That's the real reason I'm out there walking instead of just estimating quantities from my chair.

So while I'm racking up steps (and blisters), you can rack up some good karma. Chip in whatever you can — it'll fund something that genuinely changes outcomes for these kids, and it'll guilt-trip me into actually hitting my daily target instead of "rounding up" from the couch.

Thanks for backing me. Every step, and every dollar, counts.!
