Steptember 26

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

STEPtember 2026 is here, and I’m excited to be stepping up for a great cause — especially as this marks my 12th year participating!


Throughout September, I’ll be aiming to move more each day while raising awareness and funds to support people living with cerebral palsy. STEPtember is a wonderful way to build wellbeing, connection, inclusion, and a little friendly team motivation.


You don’t need to be a fitness expert to take part — every step, walk, ride, swim, stretch, or movement counts. If you’re keen to join, support, or cheer us on, I’d love to have you involved.


Let’s step up together and make STEPtember 2026 a month of movement, purpose, and positive impact.

Stepping into STEPtember 2026: Every Step Counts

Monday 31st Aug

As we step into STEPtember 2026, I’m reminded that sometimes the smallest steps can carry the biggest meaning. This year is also very special to me, as it marks my 12th year taking part in STEPtember.

For me, this is more than a step challenge. It is a chance to move with purpose, to support people living with cerebral palsy, and to be part of something that reflects inclusion, kindness, wellbeing, and community. Every walk, every extra movement, and every moment of encouragement is a reminder that when we each do a little, together we can make a real difference.

I’ll be taking this journey one step at a time throughout September — the easy steps, the tired steps, the joyful steps, and the steps that remind me why this matters. If you feel inspired, I would love for you to join, support, donate, or simply cheer each other on along the way.

Here’s to stepping with heart, walking with purpose, and creating impact together this STEPtember.
