No One's "No" Is the Final Word: CP Awareness Month
from Unfiltered Resilience: Dawn Olson's Journey · host Dawn Olson
March was CP Awareness Month — and today I'm making sure it doesn't pass quietly. In this episode, I'm getting personal about what cerebral palsy truly means in my daily life: the spasticity that takes over my whole body, the learning disabilities nobody sees, and a story involving 911, a locksmith, and my bare behind that I've never forgotten. I'm also celebrating three things I was told I'd never do — drive, wear contacts, and graduate college. I did all three. This episode is for anyone who has ever been underestimated.
