15 Nov October 6 is World Cerebral Palsy Day! 

Did you know that there are 17 million people across the world living with cerebral palsy and another 350 million people who are closely connected to a child or adult with Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, and it is a permanent disability that affects movement. Its impact can range from a weakness in one hand, to almost a complete lack of voluntary movement.

Cerebral Palsy is a complex disability:
1 in 4 children with Cerebral Palsy cannot talk,
1 in 4 cannot walk,
1 in 2 have an intellectual disability,
1 in 4 have epilepsy.
* CP is a lifelong disability and there is no known cure.
