Sophie’s Fight for Normalcy and Unity

 

Sophie, Michael’s daughter, is the heart and inspiration behind Faith Over CP. Her daily battle with cerebral palsy (CP) is a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by children worldwide. Sophie’s courage has inspired Michael’s relentless drive to create innovative solutions that improve mobility, confidence, and quality of life.

“Sophie’s Fight is Our Fight” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a mission. Sophie’s story has moved people worldwide, building a community dedicated to awareness, support, and innovation. Through Sophie’s journey, Michael and his family are championing the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life.

 

The DURAN Legacy: Championing a Cause

 

Roberto DURAN, known as “Hands of Stone,” symbolizes resilience and strength. His tenacity in the ring mirrors the daily battles faced by children with CP. With DURAN’s blessing, the DURAN Legacy Steps® shoe was born, combining the heart of a champion with the courage of children like Sophie.
