Sippin' for CP

By Chrissy Perkins

Help me make a difference for CP research!

This year, we're raising funds and awareness for Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) to move cerebral palsy research and disability innovation forward.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability in the world, affecting 18 million people of all ages, with 33 babies diagnosed with CP in every day in the US.  

As you know, Emerson was diagnosed with CP at 24 months.  While her diagnosis is on the mild spectrum, there are millions of children that are not as lucky as her. 

Even though it’s so common, CP doesn’t get the attention or funding it deserves. Your generosity will change that.

Any contribution you make will make a difference. Your gift will support:

  • Studies focused on unlocking movement for people with CP — from holding their head up for the first time to taking steps in ways they never have before.  
  • Technology that makes it easier for people with CP to grasp and grip items they need.
  • Research into the chronic pain that affects 14.5 million people with CP.
  • Innovation that makes it possible for people with CP to access and control their personal technology with voice commands, facial expressions, body gestures, and more.

Please help me reach my goal. Together, we can change lives and move CP research forward.

Thanks so much for your support!
