Ruby & Lily Upfield
Story
Hi there!
This is Ruby. I love to play basketball & run around & do lots of normal 9 year old kid stuff. My identical twin sister Lily would love to do all that stuff too but alot of the time her Cerebral Palsy means she needs lots of help to do things. I'm only small (so I'm told) so most of the time grown ups help Lily. But this Sunday is different! Lily & I are going to walk in the Melbourne Marathon (3km event) & I'm going to push Lily in her wheelchair -no adults needed thanks very much! It's quite far but I reckon we can do it together. You see I can walk for both us, because Lily can't. We are also hoping to raise some funds for The Cerebral Palsy Education Centre (CPEC). CPEC have played such a huge part in getting Lily to where she is today & we want to make sure that more kids like Lily get the help they need. So dig deep, raid your piggy bank, skip a coffee or two or check under your car seats for loose change & donate to us today and help kids with Cerebral Palsy of the future. Thanks heaps everyone! xoxo Ruby Upfield

CPEC (Cerebral Palsy Education Centre)
CPEC is a unique and specialised service for children and young people with Cerebral Palsy and similar conditions and their families. We are the only Centre of its type in Australia and we are recognised around the world for our success in working with children with CP.
We provide physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy to children as well as helping them to access essential equipment they need in their daily lives. Every single child who attends CPEC no matter how severe their disability learns to communicate. If you are switched on but can't tell others what you feel or need life can be very frustrating. Learning to communicate is life changing.
It currently costs $34,000 per child per year to receive the much needed “Learning for Life” education programs from CPEC. The Government only funds $7,900 of this so we rely on generous people making donations to help keep us operating.
Our kids are inspiring overcoming obstacles to perform everyday activities, we need your support to help them live as independetly as possible.
