For Hudson and other children living with cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that affects movement and posture. It is an umbrella term that refers to a group of disorders affecting a person’s ability to move. Cerebral means ‘of the brain’ and palsy refers to ‘a lack of muscle control’.
 
It is the most common physical disability in childhood, with 1 in every 700 babies born in Australia being diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

This is a cause near and dear to me, knowing first hand the struggles that people with CP and their families face, with my youngest son Hudson being 1 of those children having recently been diagnosed with the condition.

Hudson is currently being supported by the Cerebral Palsy alliance, where he is receiving regular therapy to help him develop vital skills such as sitting, moving, speaking and eating. They have also provided us a special chair to support his progress towards these goals. 
My way of helping make a difference, is by participating in Steptember and doing 10,000 steps a day through September, to help raise money for CPA to ensure they can continue to provide other children with the same support with these programs and the assistive technologies. If you have the means to donate I would very much appreciate it.
