October is Be Green & Be Seen month!  

Coinciding with World Cerebral Palsy Day on October 6, October is the month to show your support for people living with Cerebral Palsy.  
Join Kiwis across the country who are going to #beACTIVE, dressing up in green, and holding green-themed morning teas to celebrate, to embrace diversity, and to help advocate for a more accessible future for everyone. 
We’re going to be celebrating Be Green & Be Seen throughout the month of October.

Raise funds, wear green, help make a difference

Anyone can join Be Green & Be Seen!
You can #beACTIVE by choosing a challenge that suits you, your school or workplace and setting up your own fundraising page.

Why not dress green for the day, invite your friends and whānau around for a green morning tea or get your colleagues together for a workplace challenge. We’ve got plenty more green ideas, and green resources here. 

Raise funds for the Cerebral Palsy Society of NZ. You’ll be helping people living with
Cerebral Palsy live the lives they want to lead.

When you go green this October, you’ll be supporting 
Cerebral Palsy Society members just like Kevin and Va.

 

 

About Cerebral Palsy   

Did you know that every three days a baby is born in New Zealand with Cerebral Palsy? That’s around one in every 500 babies.  Starting in infancy and lasting for life, Cerebral Palsy is the most common cause of childhood disability in this country.    
There are more than 10,000 people living with Cerebral Palsy in New Zealand and it affects more than 17 million people worldwide.   

 

Did you know there’s a Te Reo Māori phrase for Cerebral Palsy?

Hōkai Nukurangi – to achieve what is important to you.

Will you celebrate with us this October?    

The good and the bad of Cerebral Palsy can only change or be celebrated if we allow achievements to be shared and challenges to be noted.   Change starts with conversations and conversations start by being seen.
