I'm taking on Steptember! Will you please show your support?
Hiya! I’m stepping up for a month-long mood boost and taking on a minimum of 15k steps a day. But I really need your help!
Please donate now to my Steptember fundraiser. I've set myself a goal of raising $1000 for this year.
Why Steptember? Most people who know me will know that my little Henry has Cerebral Palsy. While he is lucky in a sense that he only has mild symptoms compared to many others with CP it does mean he does find some things difficult and needs some additional help with things. We've been blessed with the improvements Henry has made during early intervention therapies like OT and physio so by raising money through steptember will help others needing diagnosis and treatment.
Note - no money raised during this fundraiser goes directly to Henry, it goes to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
My Fundraising
My fundraising could help provide:
6
therapy kits for babies with cerebral palsy.
1
early response therapy sessions for babies with cerebral palsy.
Amount I've raised for people with cerebral palsy

Day 7 Father's Day Walk
Monday 8th Sep
Day 7
Monday 8th Sep Yesterday was a wonderful chilled father's day with the family. My steps were a slow start due to a sleep in, breakfast in bed, watching a movie and doing a puzzle with the kids. After lunch Lisa, Henry and I walked the dog and I continued stepping after dropping them home.

Day 6
Saturday 6th Sep Smashed out the steps today by spending time with Henry trying to teach him to use his balance bike (this has been a big challenge for him) and then walking him in his trike to a new playground. Then this afternoon I took Alana and her friends into Riverfire and enjoyed some fireworks. Great day!

Day 5
Saturday 6th Sep I was a little slow getting started in my steps for Day 5 as I wasn't feeling the greatest in the morning but fortunately that passed and I then went for a long run to knock out a big chunk of my 15000 steps and yay I was able to wear my runners again.
Day 4
Thursday 4th Sep Another day, another 15000 steps completed. Big thankyou to everyone who has donated. I'm at $400 out of my $1000 fundraising goal for Steptember so I'm nearly half way.
Crime against fashion

Day 3
Wednesday 3rd Sep Today has been full of interruptions to my plans to dominate today's steps but managed a walk in the morning with Henry and the pooch and I'm currently out doing my night walk but will have to do a little extra tonight to hit my 15k steps. The good news is my small blisters from the hike I did before Steptember started, have nearly healed and I'll soon stop committing crimes against fashion and wearing sandals with socks.
Day 2
Tuesday 2nd Sep
Day 2
Tuesday 2nd Sep Mowing and groceries, two jobs that sometimes I have to motivate myself to do but today they were a perfect opportunity to crack into my steps for the day! And an evening walk to finish the 15k steps which is such a nice way to end the day, I could be keeping up the night walks after this perhaps.
Day 1
Monday 1st Sep
A great cause. Love the updates.
