STEPtember returns for 2023 Registrations for STEPtember are now open for steppers across the district. STEPtember is a month long fundraising event conducted by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) which aims to support a wide range of initiatives involving those living with cerebral palsy. Steppers can take part in STEPtember individually or as part of a team, with the aim of hitting a daily goal of steps to encourage donations. NSLHD Professional Development Partner Julie Howse, who has been stepping in the challenge since 2016, is excited to be taking part for another year. “I’m looking forward to getting out there and finding more moments to exercise for STEPtember 2023,” she said. “It’s a great way to get your exercise in for a great cause.”
Julie stepped on team ‘Leggings and Laces’ last year and offered some advice to staff members who may be considering taking part this year. “Last year our team held a very successful Bunnings BBQ and in other years we’ve done a trivia night and baked cakes to help drive donations,” she said. “For anyone considering taking part, it really is a great excuse to have some friendly competition and get involved for a fantastic cause.” There are a number of rewards to be won across the district for the highest steppers and largest fundraisers. Teams and individuals across NSLHD can join by visiting https://www.steptember.org. au/join/northernsydneylhd and selecting the NSLHD service or department that applies.
