'Don't You Forget About CP' is a call to action for the cerebral palsy community to help promote awareness. Our stories matter, and they need to be told.

While cerebral palsy is technically classified as a non-progessive condition, we know that adults with CP often experience earlier muscle and bone aging and are at higher risk for other chronic health conditions.

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day, when people around the world come together to celebrate and support those living with CP, embrace diversity and to help create a more accessible future for everyone.
As cerebral palsy affects more than 17 million people worldwide, there are millions of reasons to make your voices heard on October 6.
