Cerebral Palsy Alliance Fitness Connection

Shout out to all our athletes!

I’m a Cerebral Palsy athlete! 💚🏃🏽‍♀️ Thanks @Kailyn.Joseph for suggesting I make another reel following this trend but specific to having a cerebral palsy. I added the athlete part bit as it gives our lives some extra ✨ flavour ✨ And peep my shirt from @AbleCollective.Au in this video (it says ‘CP won’t stop me’, although it sometimes does but love the shirt either way!) 😆 Comment below if you liked this video, and what else would you add to this list? ⬇️

Another fantastic achievement! Keep an eye on this kid.. she's going places!
First stop.. Everest as the Weetbix kid! 🏔️

Well done Cale! 👏👏
When Cale started running during our Healthy Kids group I thought he was going to break the treadmill! He kept putting it faster and faster until his legs were flying! Looks where those legs have taken him! Very exciting for him to reach this marathon goal!

A HUGE congratulations to Mali who competed in her first (of many we are sure!) international competition this week- The World Para Champs in Paris! She came 7th and 2nd!

Amazing work happening down in Canberra with our AEP Helen!

Today (14th of November) we are acknowledging World Diabetes Day.

Did you know research shows that exercise is crucial for individuals with diabetes, as it improves cardiorespiratory fitness, which helps insulin work more effectively.

Exercise physiologists are specially trained to understand the complexities of this condition and can help you to exercise safely with diabetes.

We have celebrities in our midst!
Great to see Canberra client Ollie and our AEP, Helen on the news this week! Those sessions are looking fun- who wants to take Ollie on in a light saber duel?

Sharing some of our favourite pics from this weekends swim camp in Newcastle!

"But for me as a parent, my favourite part of the day was watching the kids playing waterpolo and having so much fun. I even had a little cry as I watched [my daughter] carrying around [a younger swimmer] and encouraging him in the game too."

Friendship, Fitness, Fun- That's what it's all about!
