I think the public has a limited awareness and understanding of cerebral palsy which causes it to be somewhat misunderstood. It is a condition that primarily affects body movement. I think people see it more as a condition that affects intellectual function. One thing I think people do understand is that "its the sexiest of palsies"

Love it

I have a fairly mild case of cerebral palsy so it primarily causes me to limp when I walk and have poor balance. There is a wide spectrum of how CP affects individuals. It is when I do more physically exerting activities that I really notice the affect my CP has on my body.

Also thanks man, I am pumped to tackle the challenge ahead of me!

Absolutely, my right leg is fairly weak and atrophied so that leg tires quickly and then other parts of my body tend to overcompensate which leads to higher risk for injury. My balance is horrendous so I really need my trekking poles to maneuver through rocky sections.
