InCommunity Recognizes National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 💚 Today, on National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of individuals living with cerebral palsy (CP). As the most common motor disability in childhood, CP affects movement, coordination, and posture—but it does not define the incredible individuals who live with it every day. At InCommunity, our mission is to empower individuals with disabilities to live full, meaningful lives with the support, inclusion, and opportunities they deserve. On this day, we stand in solidarity with those with CP, their families, and advocates who work tirelessly to break barriers and promote accessibility. 💚 Wear green to show your support! 💚 Educate others about CP and the importance of inclusion. 💚 Celebrate the accomplishments of those thriving with CP. Together, we can foster a world where everyone, regardless of ability, is seen, heard, and valued. Let’s raise awareness and champion a future of inclusion! #NationalCerebralPalsyAwarenessDay #GoGreenForCP #InclusionMatters #InCommunity #CPAwareness
