Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and it's one that often remains in the shadows. However, on October 6th each year, the world comes together to celebrate World Cerebral Palsy Day, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals with CP and emphasising their abilities and achievements. This day serves as a platform for raising awareness, promoting inclusivity, and advocating for a more inclusive society.

Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder that primarily affects movement, muscle coordination, and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, usually during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after birth. The severity and symptoms of CP can vary widely, ranging from mild muscle weakness to significant motor impairment. While CP poses unique challenges for those living with it, it is essential to recognise that individuals with CP are not defined by their condition. Many have accomplished remarkable feats and continue to inspire others with their resilience and determination.
