I’m Doing Steptember: For Khayder and Every Kid Like Him

This September, I’m lacing up my shoes and stepping up for Steptember — a cause that’s close to my heart.

I’m doing it for Khayder — a strong, beautiful kid, Every step I take this month is for him, and for the thousands of other children and families who face the challenges of CP every single day with courage and resilience.

Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, and yet it’s still widely misunderstood. That’s why awareness and funding are so important — to support life-changing therapies, research, and resources that help kids like Khayder thrive.

Steptember is more than just a step challenge. It’s a movement. A way to show up for those who face obstacles that most of us never have to think about. If they can do hard things every day, I can certainly put in the steps.

I’m proud to be part of this journey — one step at a time, one child at a time.

Let’s walk for change. Let’s walk for Khayder. 💚
