Meet Jacob! VP of CP Denmark. Jacob speaks about what this year’s theme #UniqueANDUnited means to him!

“People with CP we are a very diverse group…even though we have CP in different ways, we share a common understanding of each other. That makes me proud…”

About cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting a person's ability to walk, move, or communicate. It is caused by an injury to the developing brain, but every individual’s experience with cerebral palsy is unique. Some people require lifelong support, while others live independently. Every story is different, but our community stands together—unique and united. Want to learn more?
