Today is…you guessed it….World Cerebral Palsy Day. For me, it’s usually a day of reflection. I think about how CP has affected me, my life and the lives of those who love me.

Let’s Get Going
Oops. I feel bad for neglecting this blog. Time has not been on my side. Like at all. This summer alone, I had a full-time remote internship, a remote class, and I studied solo for a big, important ethics exam that I need to pass in order to sit for the New York State bar… Continue reading Let’s Get Going
