Texas Lions Camp for children.
March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.
Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. It impacts movement, muscle tone, coordination—and often brings a lifetime of medical complexity. But it does not define a child’s potential, spirit, or future.
At TLC, I have the privilege of seeing children with CP not through the lens of limitation, but through the lens of possibility. Many of the kids served live with significant physical challenges. They work harder before breakfast than many people do all day. Their resilience is inspiring — and it’s daily.
That’s why summer camp matters.
Camp isn’t just a break from routine. It’s freedom. It’s firsts. Its independence practiced in an environment designed for their success. It’s friendships built around campfires instead of clinic visits. For many children with CP, summer camp is one of the few environments designed for them to fully participate—not sit on the sidelines.
I’ve seen confidence grow in a single week. I’ve watched kids try something their diagnosis once suggested was out of their reach. I’ve seen joy that has nothing to do with therapy plans or treatment schedules.
Awareness is important. Action is better.
This month (and every month), I’m choosing to highlight ability over disability, courage over constraint, and opportunity over obstacle. Children with cerebral palsy deserve environments that stretch them, celebrate them, and remind them they are capable of more than the world sometimes expects.
Texas Lions Camp does exactly that.
