Like she did last year, Stacy has been posting daily facts about cerebral palsy on James’ Facebook page as part of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. I will be compiling those daily posts into two separate posts here. Below you will find the daily facts from days 1 through 15 along with any notes that Stacy may have included with her posts. On March 31st, I will post the daily facts from days 16 through 31.

A special thank you goes out to the Firefly company for putting these facts together to help raise awareness about cerebral palsy.

And don’t forget to check out the Thirty-One fundraiser that Stacy is having from March 20th through the 30th. She will be donating a portion of her commission on all sales to the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater Chicago. And for every $20 dollars spent, your name will go into a drawing to win a prize.  For more details about this event, please check out the event page on Facebook:
