Here, she tells why she plans to take part in Steptember 2018 this year.
Meeting the team at the Cerebral Palsy Association in Sydney’s Alambie Heights last year was so incredibly moving, I felt such a strong connection to this  wonderful cause.It was so inspiring to hear about the incredible work they do and to meet the courageous people with Cerebral Palsy such as Ben, who was the youngest …

Immediately, I knew I wanted to start Steptember and do 10,000 steps a day to raise some much needed funds and start my fitness goal  to lose some unwanted kilos at the same time. With my 50th birthday looming in six months, it was perfect timing to prepare for it so I could live up to the phrase Feeling Fab At 50.

Well that day started … the 1st of September, 2017, and I started to hit the pavement , by doing my 10,000 steps a day – everyday. If  a few commitments hampered my  required steps, I would make those steps up the following day or that week.

Each week I would plan out my route, trying a new area to explore like north Sydney to  Luna Park and back , 7klms = 10,000 steps .Before long, I became addicted to the healthy sensation of doing my steps and starting losing weight – Woo Hoo! Because this was my first time doing Steptember I kept it within my family and raised close to $500.00 .. that might not seam like a lot of money BUT every cent every dollar counts to help.

This  year will be Bigger and Better and a few friends and family members are signing up too, and we will be doing a lot of walking together and  getting fitter together and challenging ourselves,

I do love a Walk and Talk. Now, after achieving my goal weight I have inspired people in my life to start Steptember- raise funds, get healthier and explore our city.
It’s a Win-win!

Every dollar you, or our company raises, will provide vital equipment, therapy and services to children and adults living with cerebral palsy. Or, you can choose to raise funds for ground-breaking research into the prevention and maybe even one day a cure.
