March is Cerebral Palsy (CP) Awareness month, and Stacy has been posting daily facts on her Facebook page in an effort to raise awareness about CP. I want to post them on here as well, but I didn’t want to post every day. I also didn’t want to wait until the end of the month to post them all, so I thought that splitting the daily cerebral palsy facts up into two posts might make the most sense.
For this post, I will be sharing the daily facts from days 1 through 15. Then on the 31st, I’ll share the daily facts from days 16 through 31.
I should probably add that this post was not sponsored by Firefly, and we have not used any of their products. I do, however, feel obligated to link back to their website since I am using their images in this post. Thank you Firefly for putting these together to help raise awareness about cerebral palsy.
