The Cerebral Palsy Foundation was established to take on the global
challenge
of finding the prevention and cure for cerebral palsy.
This will be achieved by
- funding research
- expanding a grants program
- encouraging researchers to adopt cerebral palsy as their area of study
- bringing together the best minds and research from around the world and sharing the information globally
- building partnerships
The answers will not be discovered overnight. The Cerebral Palsy Foundation is committed to ensuring that work continues until the answers are found.
