If you know me, you know about Ezra

And because of Ezra, I'm participating in the STEPtember challenge to raise funds for cerebral palsy research and advancements in technology to benefit disabled people. I'm taking my fitness into my own hands and setting daily activity goals for the month of September. I know I am clumsy and walking may be a chore, but its nowhere near the challenges faced by those with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Did you know that 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. Without funding, there is not much assistance for struggling families, either. So many CP kids, like Ezra, spend an inordinate amount of time in hospitals with coexisting medical situations. Those visits cost families hundreds -sometimes thousands - of dollars just in meals, gas money, overnight accommodations, and so many other things necessary with a child in the hospital. your donations not only help with research, but also with support for those families.

So any contribution you make will make a difference. Your gift can support:

• 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.

Please help support this great cause by making a donation. It would mean so much to me — and to everyone with CP.

Ezra and I thank you for your support!
