Steptember: Helping Cerebral Palsy Patients One Step At A Time
Steptember

So I have a twin sister who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 1. Since then my family and I have been through a lot to help my sister Lia through the good times and the bad.

We have been on an Australian television show called The Project and told our story to the Australian audience, and promoted Steptember through our segment on the show, a few years back. This allowed us to tell my sister's story and get the word out there.

Steptember is a global charity event for people with Cerebral Palsy. You are helping United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) one of the largest health nonprofits in the country—provide services to thousands of children and adults living with disabilities.

When you sign up, the way to reach your goal is uniquely up to you, you can either play a large variety of sport and log your activities which can be transformed to steps when you convert them online. Whether you play sports for example; Soccer, NFL, Rugby, Tennis etc, the list goes on but you get my drift.


To sign up all you need to do is take a few simple steps here. For those of you who are not participating but just happy to donate a little something.

Many individuals around the world will be taking 10,000 steps every day of September to support the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation and the ground-breaking research they are carrying out to treat, prevent and ultimately find a cure for cerebral palsy; the most common physical disability in childhood.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
