This September people all around the world are taking up the Steptember challenge to raise funds for people living with cerebral palsy (CP).
This challenge has inspired a whole community to partake in their own Steptember to raise funds for Ruby Early Rolph, a five year old girl living in Coolbellup who has CP. The Cooby Community have welcomed Ruby into the local school and want to help fundraise for specialist therapy that will increase Ruby’s independence and her odds of walking independently.
Ruby has had a tough start to life, born prematurely at 27 weeks and contracting Strep B meningitis at just 31 weeks has left her with brain damage. Regardless of her trials Ruby is a determined, strong and happy girl who doesn’t let her CP hold her back!
Ruby’s diary has always been full of a variety of appointments; physio, occupational therapy, speech therapy, conductive education, horse riding, feldenkrais, hip surveillance, speech therapy and the list goes on! The early years are the most formative and she is ambitious to achieve her full potential.
Contributions for Ruby will go towards an Intensive Therapy Program run by The Neurological and Physical Abilitation Centre (NAPA ) which has an incredible success rate. The cost of the program is $12,028 which goes for 3 weeks in which Ruby will complete 60 hours of therapy! This will give Ruby the opportunity to focus on select therapies that will suit her, such as; NeuroSuit, Cuevas Medak Exercise, Oxygen Therapy, etc. It is beneficial for Ruby to gain access to the program in her early years as this will give her a good foundation for an independent environment.
Most of these therapies are not offered through the Australian health system.
Through the NAPA program Ruby has taken her first five independent steps and her classification of the severity of her mobility impairment has also been reduced. This program is working wonders for children with disabilities!
The Cooby Community are stepping it up this September, walking 10,000 steps a day for your sponsorship! It’s a great way to get healthier and make a difference to a little girl’s future. With your help, we will be able to give Ruby every opportunity to better her life.
