I am a 41-year-old man who has Cerebral Palsy, has had to learn how to fight his way through life, and started a disability advocacy nonprofit. The nonprofit’s mission is to empower Individuals with disabilities to advocate for themselves by providing them with the resources and training they need to achieve their goal of being their own advocate.
