Living with Cerebral Palsy-Related Paralysis?

Nearly six million Americans are currently living with paralysis, and about 7% of those cases of paralysis are due to cerebral palsy. That's approximately 412,000 people across the U.S., according to recent research by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. If you're living with cerebral palsy, or taking care of someone who is, you don't have to be just another statistic.
 

The Reeve Foundation, as part of its campaign to cure paralysis, wants you to 'be counted' – to add your voice to the millions of others out there dealing with paralysis. As the saying goes, 'there's strength in numbers' so go to the Foundation's website and put yourself on the map. You can even share it with your friends who can be counted to show their support.
