As most of you know, I’m the owner of Head to Toe Therapies, a paediatric physiotherapy clinic in Tuggeranong. Every day, I work with incredible children living with disability and I see firsthand the challenges they face and the strength they show.
This year, we’re partnering with Variety – the Children’s Charity to raise funds for something truly life-changing: a Trexo robotic walker. This incredible device enables children with severe physical disabilities to stand and walk, many for the very first time.
This cause is deeply personal to me. I’ll be running the full marathon while pushing my nephew, Manvir, who has severe Cerebral Palsy. Like many children with similar conditions, he doesn’t have regular access to upright mobility. As his uncle and as a physio, I know how important that opportunity is — not just physically, but emotionally.
A Trexo would benefit more than 20 children here in Canberra. Regular dynamic weight bearing for children who are bed- and chair-bound has strong evidence behind it — improving bone density, muscle strength, hip and spine stability, circulation, and overall wellbeing.
But beyond the physical benefits, the emotional and social impact is profound. The chance to stand tall, to walk at eye level with friends and family, to see the world from a different perspective — that changes a child’s confidence and sense of belonging in ways that are hard to put into words.
It would mean the world to us if you could spare a few dollars to sponsor Variety, and if you’re feeling inspired to run one of the races and fundraise alongside us, we would be so grateful to have you on the team.
