I'm raising funds to support CP research and disability innovation.

I'm participating in the STEPtember challenge to raise funds for cerebral palsy research and advancements in technology to benefit disabled people, like Solly. All month long, I'll be raising funds to support Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF).

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability in the world, affecting 18 million people of all ages, with 1 in 323 children diagnosed with CP every year. Even though it’s so common, CP doesn’t get the attention or funding it deserves. Your generosity can change that.

Any contribution you make will make a difference. Your gift will go towards:

• Research into cutting-edge physical therapy to see what works best for certain children.
• Painless technology that makes it possible for people with CP to move in ways — and accomplish things — that they never have before.
• Research into new chronic pain treatments and solutions for people with CP.
• Technology that makes it easier for people with CP to live their everyday lives right now.

This cause is so important to me. Every day for the past 10 years, we've witnessed how gaps in funding can affect the lives of people with disabilities. While research into early intervention changed the trajectory of Solly's life since he was able to access therapies starting in the NICU, there is still work to be done to support individuals with disabilities as they age. Please help support this great cause by making a donation. It would mean so much to me and Solly.

Thanks!
