Currently, there are over 18 million people around the world diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy 760,000 in the U.S. alone (like myself) making it one of the most common disabilities around the world. Unfortunately, the awareness as well as the education of this disability goes unnoticed making it hard for many around the world to receive adequate resources. Help me join in celebrating the accomplishments of those with this disability by signing this petition and helping me get UCF to light up Millican Hall and other significant buildings at UCF green on October 6th to celebrate the accomplishments of those with Cerebral Palsy and those that continue pushing forward. If we are successful this might be one step forward in bringing recognition about CP not just at UCF, but other campuses around the state of Florida. 

This means a lot to me because as a disability advocate, motivational speaker, former athlete, and educator it is my responsibility as an individual to shine a light on this disability and help give a voice to those whom need it most.

Keep on pushing forward,
