Cerebral Palsy Family Run/Walk 5k

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

📊 Cerebral Palsy Information

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is the most common motor disability in childhood, with recent data indicating a prevalence of approximately 1 in 345 children in the United States. Globally, more than 17 million people are living with CP. It is a lifelong, non-progressive neurological condition, and no two cases are the same.

💖 Dedication

This yearly event is proudly dedicated to Julianna Rose, a fearless and resilient little girl who suffered two brain hemorrhages in utero at 19 and 25 weeks due to a rare blood condition known as Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT). Despite the odds, Julianna continues to inspire those around her with her courage and determination.
