10 YEARS OF STEPPING UP FOR AN ACCESSIBLE FUTURE
Every STEPtember, people from around the
world challenge themselves to move
EVERY day while fundraising for
Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation.
STEPtember is a health and wellness initiative that focuses on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. When you take on the STEPtember challenge, you're making a difference by moving
medical research forward and funding the development of new life-changing technology
to benefit all those with CP and other disabilities.
There are 1 million people of all ages with cerebral palsy in the US — and 33 more children are diagnosed every day. In fact, CP is the most common life-long physical disability, and it's vastly underfunded.
No matter how you move, you can change what's possible!
IN 2024, 10,455 PARTICIPANTS Have RAISED $1,023,656
FOR CEREBRAL PALSY RESEARCH AND DISABILITY INNOVATION.
