why does CPGU exist?

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong motor disability around the world, affecting millions. There are over 11 million adults worldwide living with cerebral palsy, many of whom have aged out of pediatric care without adequate support.

There are more than 700,000 adults in the US and 11 million worldwide living with cerebral palsy. A life with CP comes with its own challenges, and access to healthcare shouldn’t be one. Our goal is to empower adults with CP to expect the same standard of healthcare received by us all, accompanied by the knowledge to finally deliver it.
