Steptember 26

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

Hi everyone,

This Steptember, I'm challenging myself to walk 10,000 steps a day for the entire month, and I'm asking for your support.

The reason this cause means so much to me is my son, James.

James is 36 years old and lives with cerebral palsy quadriplegia. He has faced challenges throughout his life that most of us can barely imagine, yet he continues to inspire me every day with his strength, determination, and resilience. He means the world to me.

As a parent, I've seen firsthand the importance of access to therapies, support services, and opportunities that help people with cerebral palsy live their best lives. That's why I'm raising funds through Steptember. By sponsoring me, you're helping provide vital therapy and support to babies and young children with cerebral palsy during the critical first 1,000 days of life, giving them the best possible start and the opportunity to achieve greater independence in the future.

Every donation, no matter the size, will motivate me to keep stepping and will make a real difference to families who are beginning a journey similar to ours.

Please consider supporting my Steptember fundraiser. It would mean so much to me, to James, and to the children and families who will benefit from your generosity.

By sponsoring me, you're making something truly special happen for those who need it most.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. ❤️
