Every Step Foundation is committed to helping bridge the financial gap for families who have a child with a disability. Early intervention plays such a huge part in determining outcomes for children with disabilities.
In 2019, 2020 we are committed to building a fleet of Race Runner Bikes. These bikes will be used by children with Cerebral Palsy and other physical disabilities to be able to join in at school and other community running events. At $6000 per bike families are rarely able to own their own bike so a loan pool where children get a chance to experience running is a wonderful gift. Some children are completely wheelchair bound but with the help of the Race Runner they are able to use their legs to push and the bike glides around the track.
The Every Step Foundation also believes in the importance of Intensive style therapy or physical training for children with physical disabilities. Intensive therapy has proven to have exceptional results helping children to achieve their goals so much faster. Just like a 6 week challenge at the gym can help us gain strength and range of movement, 3 weeks of intensive therapy can see children with disabilities able to physically achieve goals that were not possible before!! The sorts of outcomes seen through these therapies are increased strength and balance, improved ability, even being able to take steps when this was never possible before! The cost of interventions and therapies for families can make then prohibitively expensive but we would like to help families overcome the financial burden so they can focus on what really matters. Intensive therapies can cost $5,000 per block. Every Step Foundation is committed to funding therapy for children.
Our mission is to help children with disabilities and their families to achieve their goals. 100% of funds donated to the every step foundation are spent directly on the Children, families and the purchasing of equipment (like Race Runner bikes). We are a fully volunteer run organisation so you can give with confidence.
