My target 8000 Steps

I’m fundraising for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. And I need YOUR support.

Hey, 


Just wanted to jump on here and let you know that during the month of May I’m walking 8,000 steps a day to raise funds and support Starlight Foundation through Starlight Super Steps! 


There are so many children affected by illness, spending their days in hospitals that consume their lives. I really want to do my part to make these spaces that are helping these children and their families a more comfortable and brighter place. I had a Pilates instructor that said “Movement is a privilege” and it really has stuck with me. It’s pushed me to not take anything for granted. Even something as simple to us as walking is hard for some. 


I’ll be posting my steps each day on social media whether I’m at the gym, going for a walk, dancing or just simply existing at work. I chose 8,000 because we take an average of 6,000 - 10,000 steps a day, and as someone who is still recovering from a torn hammy and adductor 8,000 seems the most achievable for me right now. 


Raising even the smallest amount to give these kids even a little moment of normality and happiness is truely a gift in itself. Funds are tight for many right now, and I totally understand. But if you can spare it, even the tiniest donation makes a difference. My goal is to raise $500 which in turn will give about 10 children activities to brighten their days while they’re in the hospital. 


Anyways, thank you and hopefully I can achieve this goal!
