Join the Big Step Challenge

Our annual Fundraiser – The Big Step Challenge – takes place every July. You can got it solo or grab some friends and family and challenge tourself to take 110,000 steps during birth trauma Awareness week. That’s one step for every family impacted by birth-related trauma in Australia each year.

If getting active isn’t your thing, then take the challenge your way. Read 110,000 words, bake 110 cakes, knit 110,000 stitches or challenge yourself to do something you love for 110,000 seconds. It doesn’t matter what your BIG Step Challenge is, as long as you step forward for safer births and better healing with us.

Create and Donate.

If there are two things our members love, it is supporting ABTA and supporting small businesses. If you have a creative business why not combine the two and donate a percentage of profits to ABTA?
