World Cerebral Palsy Day 2025

What a thing to be both so proud of this community, and to wish there were no such battles to be fought, endured and victorious over because of CP.

In an ironic moment today, I visited Dr. Rush because my body has been having some extra muscle spasms for the last week. As he was giving me a steroid shot, I mentioned that it is World CP Day. He smiled and said, “We need an anti-CP day.” Agreed. And in that sentiment, we in this community are so many things.

I wrote this piece with such pride, honor and hope. If you know someone with CP, loves and cares for someone with CP, please take a moment to honor who and how we are in the world. If you don’t, we are all pretty badass and have lots to share. We would love to tell you, today or any.
