And welcome to March and with that the season of Autumn (Fall) for us Aussies and happy spring to all of my friends in the northern hemisphere...
As you can see by my graphic and tittle of my post this month is Cerebral Palsy Awareness month and I want to use this post to "reach out" and raise aweareness of C.P as I have done so since starting my blog last June.
As I have said before while others may feel sorry for me because I'm "disabled" it is because they only see the outsise shell of me, the muscles that stiffen, the movements that jerk, the slight speech slur.... What they don't see is that behind this I'm smart, articulate, talented, intellecual and constantly learning all the time.... I don't "suffer" but live with C.P and yes it is a part of me, but DOES NOT define who I am.
My regular readers will also know that I am a fighter and that my condition does not get in my way of me doing ANYTHING that I want to do because I DO believe that where there's a will, there's a way. And as you all know this has been obvious in the last few months as I learn to live my life on my feet.
So guys my advice to you please raise awareness of C.P because there are still many people that don't know what it is or how it affects people..... Chances are that you or someone you know knows or lives with someone with Cerebral Palsy...
