Did you know adding more exercise into your daily routine can reduce stress levels, increase productivity and boost your immune system? Join us for STEPtember to move together for cerebral palsy.
In these times of lockdown and reduced movement, there’s never been a better time to join Australia’s leading health and wellness fundraising event. Not only will you be doing your brain and body good, but you’ll also be raising vital funds to support people living with cerebral palsy. From research into the causes and prevention of cerebral palsy to identifying babies at risk and providing essential mobility equipment, you can create lasting impact.
So let’s all get active, get connected and foster teamwork. Take the challenge of taking 10,000 steps each day during September. With more than 40 activities that will count towards your 10,000 steps, you can walk, swim, ride, wheel or spin your way through September.
Did you know that, every 20 hours, an Australian child is born with cerebral palsy resulting from damage to the developing brain? Whether it’s through early intervention, life-changing technology and equipment, or ground-breaking research, by stepping up you can help to improve the lives of children and adults living with cerebral palsy.
Last year we stepped up for STEPtember and together we raised a grand total of $22,996. This year our goal is to get even more people stepping and raise $50.000, so let's go!
ACU has a great history of participating in STEPtember. This year we are joining forces to create a fun and engaging program for all participants that not only supports a wonderful organisation, but helps us all to find and encourage healthy habits and a love for steps.
Staff and students are also invited to join the School of Allied Health and ACU Sport at a 'lunch n learn' Zoom session with Dale Walker from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
In this session, Dale will take us through:
There will also be time to ask any questions you might have about STEPtember or the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, plus a bit of fun and some prizes to win at the end of the session.
