10,000+ steps a day, all September. Because someone else's first steps take a lot more work.
Signed up for Steptember for a selfish reason first , 10,000 steps a day sounded like exactly the push I needed this month. Out of the desk chair, out of the comfort zone, into daylight, every single day.
Then I looked at what it actually funds. Steptember backs early therapy for babies and kids with cerebral palsy, and Cerebral Palsy Alliance is clear that the first 1,000 days matter most for building movement, speech and independence. My 300,000 steps this month is nothing next to what some of these kids have to work for just to take a step.
$62 funds a therapy kit that supports a baby's brain development during that critical window. If you're able to chip in - any amount - you're backing something real, not just my step count.
Thanks for reading this far. Back to walking.
