Foreword - Cerebral Palsy: A Story ‘Finding the Calm After the Storm’ - UCP Marty Kinrose
I was first introduced to Ilana and her website ‘The CP Diary’ in my capacity as Director of Mentor and Youth Programs at UCP WORK Inc. United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) is one of the largest health non-profits in the US today, whose mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities through an affiliate network. UCP educates, advocates and provides support services to ensure a life without limits for people with a spectrum of disabilities.
Ilana has provided a longstanding service to so many through her blog; it serves as inspiration and illumination most anyone could relate to, regardless of the challenges they face ... and, let’s face it, we ALL face challenges. It’s hard to imagine anyone who takes the time to peruse this blog not benefitting at some level.
Ilana has given many people a community to belong to and a guarantee that their voice will be heard through her consistency with her blog over all these years. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment.
