STEPtember 2021
What is Steptember?
STEPtember is a fun and inclusive virtual fundraising event that challenges participants to walk, swim, ride, wheel or spin their way to 10,000 steps per day during the month of September. It was created to raise money for people with cerebral palsy. Through initiatives and programs developed by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, thousands of Australians across the country will have the opportunity to live their best life.
We’re stepping up
With 36 people strong, full of grit, determination and a can-do attitude, please welcome the Your Stepasiders!
As a team of dedicated people from the DARTS and Social Support programs, the Your Step Asiders will do their very best to achieve 30 minutes of physical activity a day to raise $2500 for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

15 September – Goal Achieved!
Only halfway through the month and we have reached our fundraising goal! A BIG thank you to everyone’s support and generosity.
The month is not over yet, and the team is going strong. Every dollar we raise for STEPtember Australia will provide vital equipment, therapy, and services to children and adults living with cerebral palsy so we hope you can continue to support us.
1 October – Closing Ceremony
With “We are the Champions” playing in the background, the Your STEPasiders logged into the closing ceremony on the very first day of October to celebrate their STEPtember achievements. And what champions they were!
Originally starting with the goal of $2500, the team smashed it, finished beyond strong and raised $4017! They also did double the amount of hours expected! That’s 968 hours over the month and over an hour of activity per team member per day! Congratulations Your STEPasiders!
It cannot be understated that the hard work they put in will have a great and positive impact for those living with Cerebral Palsy. We couldn’t be prouder of our clients pushing themselves for this cause. Thanks once again for your support.
