Sidekick Steps into September

For the month of September Sidekick is setting ourselves the challenge of 10,000 steps a day, fundraising for the Cerebral Palsy Society NZ

We have set ourselves the lofty goal of fundraising $20,000 across our group of 8 offices and over 60 staff. All the Directors are proud to support this cause and encourage you to join up & get involved.

This is a cause that means a lot to many at Sidekick as our Sidekick Timaru Director - James Swaney’s son Alex lives with Cerebral Palsy. James and his family see the fantastic work the Cerebral Palsy Society does in New Zealand, from providing funding for transport & physios to advocating for people living with Cerebral Palsy in New Zealand. Cerebral Palsy is a group of neurological disorders affecting movement, balance & posture (in varying degrees). There are over 10,000 people in New Zealand living with Cerebral Palsy.

Sidekick has set up a Givealittle page that raises funds directly for the Cerebral Palsy Society. All you have to do to get involved is set yourself a goal for each day in September (e.g. 10,000 steps, 10km a day biking), share that goal with your friends/family/clients and get them to sponsor you to achieve your goal. They go to our Givealittle - Sidekick Steps into September - Givealittle to make their donation, get them to note who they are sponsoring in their comment so we can keep track of individual amounts raised (if you are setting yourself a personal fundraising goal).
