In Sydney I visited the Dads & Daughters ⚽️ prog. Developed by @philmorgo of @Uni_Newcastle it educates & empowers girls alongside their fathers/father figures to improve physical activity, sport skill proficiency, social & emotional wellbeing. Thanks for the warm welcome!

As of today our @10000Steps_ program has over 600,000 registered members who have logged over 345 Billion Steps! Amazing achievement by the whole team that works tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen @ 10000steps.org.au 🏆🎉🍾🥳👏
