Good Morning,
Happy ChooseDay! Today, we’re inviting you to take a step (or 10,000!) toward better health and a brighter future for those with cerebral palsy.
This September, let’s lace up our sneakers and join STEPtember—Australia’s favourite and most inclusive virtual health and well-being challenge, made possible by Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA). 🌟
So... why choose to STEP Up for STEPtember?
Walking is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to boost your physical and mental well-being.
Did you know? The study of over 72,000 people, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found every additional step up to around 10,000 steps a day was linked to a 39% reduced risk of death and 21% reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, regardless of how much remaining time was spent sedentary.
Increasing your step count every day can make a big difference:
Boost Your Physical Health: 🚶♀️ Walking helps improve cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and boosts your immune system.
Enhance Your Mental Well-Being: 😊 Regular walking reduces stress, clears your mind, and elevates your mood.
Increase Your Energy Levels: ⚡ Moving more can increase your energy levels, helping you feel more alert and focused throughout the day.
Support Your Weight Management: 🏃♂️ Walking helps burn calories and maintain a healthy weight, all while being gentle on your joints.
Join STEPtember
STEP up to the challenge with your friends, colleagues, students, or run club mates, and commit to moving 10,000 steps a day this September. It’s not just about counting steps—it’s about making each step count. Every stride you take will help raise funds for CPA, supporting vital services and research for people with cerebral palsy. 🧡
Whether you’re a seasoned walker or just getting started, STEPtember is designed to be fun and inclusive for everyone. You can walk, run, dance, or even roll your way to 10,000 steps. The important thing is to keep moving and have a blast while doing it! 🎉

.P.S. Speaking of steps, our friends at Save The Children have just launched their Three Peaks Trek for Save the Children, and are excited to be able to offer you and your staff an early bird offer, saving participants $150 on the sign-up fee.⛰️
Running as two separate treks over 21 – 23 March 2025 in NSW and Victoria, participants will climb some of Australia’s highest peaks. Challenge yourself to summit three peaks in one day on this mountainous adventure that will help to build a better world for and with children.🌟
