Stepping into Spring

Good morning everyone! Spring has officially sprung J

As the weather improves you’re likely to find a team at The Maple Event group outside hitting the pavement. For the month of September in particular as we embrace the momentous challenge known as ‘Steptember’.

During September we have set ourselves the challenge of taking 300,000 steps each. This works out to be 10,000 steps each day! Now while this may not seem like much keep in mind that the average office bound person takes just 3,000 steps a day…so we’re setting the target high!

Why are we doing this you might ask?

Two words: Lexi Gem.

Lexi Gem is the gorgeous 2 year old daughter of Dino Trentin. Dino is part of the Myles AV team, who works very closely with us at The Maple Event Group. We love Dino and we consider him part of our Maple Event Group family! Lexi has Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. This affects her whole body and makes it extremely difficult for her to strengthen her muscles and coordinate her movements. There is no cure.

However, there are many amazing therapies that can have very positive results. These are very costly and are her only real chance at becoming strong enough to achieve independence. We are raising money to contribute towards these therapies.

So as the days get longer and the temperatures warmer wish us luck with this endeavour!
