According to quite a few Facebook posts I’ve come across from people with Cerebral Palsy, yesterday was world CP day. That was news to me, quite frankly: I, probably like most people, hadn’t heard anything about it, and if I had stuck to what I gleaned from the mainstream media it would be a complete non-event. That seems a shame to me as we are apparently supposed to use the day to celebrate everyone who has cerebral palsy. Each one of us is different, of course, and the condition effects us all in slightly different ways; but we all have something to contribute in our own unique ways. That may range from the briefest, simplest communication with those around us, to creating art, making films or even writing blog entries. As a group, surely we deserve cheering, if only once a year. Thus, while it might be a tad cheesy to base a day around a disability or medical condition, I’ll happily wish my fellow spastics a happy World CP Day.
