The #BeAwesomeEveryday wristbands began as a simple idea – a way to acknowledge the journey I’m on and to remind myself (and others) that even in the face of Motor Neuron Disease, life is still about living.

First shared at my initial FUNdraiser dinner back in 2018, these wristbands were never about fundraising or fanfare. They were about mindset. About choosing positivity. About showing up each day with purpose, strength, and a little bit of grit – no matter what life throws our way.

Since then, the wristbands have travelled far and wide, popping up in everyday moments and extraordinary places around the world. From local walks and coffee catch-ups to overseas adventures, they’ve become a quiet reminder that our circumstances don’t define us, but how we choose to live does.

Over time, the wristband evolved from yellow to orange, still featuring the signature bicep curl as a symbol of strength, resilience, and determination. What hasn’t changed is the message behind it:
Be Awesome Everyday.

That might look like setting small goals, finding joy in nature, moving your body in whatever way you can, sharing a laugh with someone you love, or simply taking a moment to appreciate where you are right now.

Seeing photos of wristbands out in the world – shared by friends, family, and this incredible community – brings me so much joy. Each image tells a story of choosing life, connection, and AWESOMENESS in the everyday.

I wonder…
Where is your wristband today? 🧡
