What you should know about Cerebral Palsy Day

World Cerebral Palsy Day was launched in 2012 and has ever since been celebrated every October 6. People around the world come together to show love and support to those living with CP, embrace diversity, and help them live a better future.

Over 17 million people worldwide live with cerebral palsy. If each of them gives you a reason to celebrate and show support, you would have millions of reasons to make your mark, not only every October 6, but every day. Join the movement this World Cerebral Palsy Day to help create awareness and action around cerebral palsy,

You are invited!

The programme is themed “Lifting the Burden of Care – Make Your Mark.” The aim behind organizing this event is to create public awareness of cerebral palsy with a view of minimizing the incidence of its occurrence. Also, we hope to render our support to children living with cerebral palsy. If you’re somewhere around, please do well to attend. We hope to see you MAKE YOUR MARK!
