What’s your reason for supporting World Cerebral Palsy Day?

October 6 marks World Cerebral Palsy Day. This is the day people around the world come together to celebrate and support those living with cerebral palsy, embrace diversity and help create a more accessible future for everyone.

The theme for the day is #MillionsOfReasons – as cerebral palsy affects more than 17 million people worldwide, there are millions of reasons to support the day and make your voice heard on October 6.

What you can do

  • Share your own reason for supporting the day on social media
  • Add your reason to the World Cerebral Palsy Day online map
  • Wear green on the day and tell everyone why

Head over to Bernie’s blog on our website to find out more about how you can support World Cerebral Palsy Day.

What is World Cerebral Palsy Day?

World Cerebral Palsy Day is a movement of people with cerebral palsy and their families, and the organisations that support them, in more than 75 countries.

The World Cerebral Palsy Day vision is to ensure that children and adults with cerebral palsy have the same rights, access and opportunities as anyone else in our society.
