Expedition Empower

Today marks the second year Expedition Empower will be partnering with Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) and taking the STEPtember Challenge! We’re thrilled to be stepping up again to support CPARF and the mission of Expedition Empower, and we hope you’ll join us to get active and connect with us all month long.

By stepping with us, any way you move is a good way to move, and you can choose from nearly 80 activities to meet your goal — whether it equals 10,000 steps or another goal that works for you.

By fundraising with us, you’ll support research and innovation for people with cerebral palsy — from babies getting the diagnosis and early therapies they need, to technology that makes everyday life easier for adults, to initiatives that ensure people get the care they need no matter where they live in the US.

You’ll be bringing science to life and changing what’s possible for 18 million people with cerebral palsy worldwide.

In addition, 70% of the money raised will help support Expedition Empower's mission to connect individuals living with a disability to nature.

Happy stepping!!

We are excited to announce that we’re partnering with Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) and taking the STEPtember Challenge! It will be our first year stepping up as a nonprofit partner and we look forward to raising funds and awareness for Expedition Empower and cerebral palsy.

You may or may not know but two of our board members were born with cerebral palsy so this is a cause near and dear to our hearts.

We are proud that our STEPtember participation will not only support our mission but will also move cerebral palsy research forward. We hope that you will join us! STEPtember is totally virtual. It’s a great way for us to come together as a community, raise our heartbeats, and much needed funds for cerebral palsy.

Through this partnership, Expedition Empower will receive 70% of all donations made to our STEPtember team and 30% will go to CPARF. Support our work by supporting our team!

Board member recently met up with Phil on his travels in California. They were very fortunate to visit Camp Tuolumne Trails. Tuolumne Trails is a camp for individuals with special medical needs, located on 80 beautiful acres of Sierra Nevada wilderness outside the mountain community of Groveland, California near the grandeur of Yosemite National Park. The facilities are fully-accessible and in our opinion world class. Huge shout out to and .m for providing a fantastic tour of the facilities and so much helpful information on how to properly run a camp for individuals with special medical needs. We can’t thank you enough!

Everyone, please go follow .trails . This organization is run by an extremely caring, and thoughtful group of people. If you live in California, we recommend checking out their website to learn about their offerings and how you can help!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Today is a good reminder that we all are a part of the earth. Nature is all around us even if we don’t notice it. Without it, we would not exist. Our connection to nature is in our DNA. Take a moment today to get outside and appreciate the nature around you. That can be a flower in your front yard, your local park or even a slight breeze in the air. We are curious, what is your favorite local nature spot? We’d love to hear about it!
