Staff at the annual STEPtember presentation event
Another year of STEPtember success 408 staff members across the district recently took part in another year of STEPtember, raising a total of $33,682 for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) and taking over 100 million steps. STEPtember is a month-long fundraising event conducted by the CPA which aims to support a wide range of initiatives involving those living with cerebral palsy. The fundraising initiative raises money towards life changing research, treatment, services, assistive technologies, and support for people living with cerebral palsy. Leading the charge, NSLHD ranked first among all participating health and medical organisations participating in 2024, setting the standard for both funds raised and steps taken. An event was held to present the leading individuals and teams with their 2024 certificates and prizes, with the event being sponsored by Aware Super, Fitness Passport and Salary Packaging Plus. NSLHD Director of Health Safety and Wellbeing Xanthe Easterbrook thanked staff across the district for their participation and said the month-long event is always a highlight for the district’s fundraising efforts. “This year’s efforts are more than a physical feat - it brought staff closer, boosted overall well- being, and raised crucial funds for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance,” she said. “Thank you to everyone took part for their efforts, those who donated and to our three sponsors. “These contributions will fuel vital programs aimed at reducing both the incidence and severity of cerebral palsy.” Individual winners:
