Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 2021

March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness month. Today March 25 2021 is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day. Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day is apparently entirely different from World CP Day in October. March is also Brain Injury awareness month and Cerebral Palsy is a brain injury. Michael Lettman who writes the blog “Living With Autism” was kind enough to let me write a Cerebral Palsy Awareness post for the blog which you can view by clicking this link. https://masterml9502.wixsite.com/livingwithautism/post/cerebral-palsy-awareness-guest-post-by-margot  Crip Video Productions used to write a Cerebral Palsy Awareness post on our google plus page until google plus shut down entirely. Check out my other guest posts for Michael on our official website press page http://cripvideoproductions.com/press.php along with other guest posts. There is more awareness spreading of the connection between Stroke and Cerebral Palsy.

In other news Crip Video Productions was featured on Julesworks again here https://youtu.be/VVvungDudHA starting at 1 hr 25 minutes into the stream.

We also received this lovely message below:

I just watched the film for the first time and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate what you accomplished. It’s a beautiful, beautiful film. I don’t know whether it’s about disabilities as much as it’s about love, because that so shines from every one of the actors it’s almost palpable. As serious as the subject matter is I had to smile through most of it. It’s brilliant the way you made humanity shine even while pointing out human flaws, as though no matter how badly we may sometimes feel or sometimes behave, every minute we have the potential to, as you subtly point out, speak to God as to a friend. Maybe I should have watched it a second time before trying to say something articulate, this is just a gut reaction.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me the link!

I can’t wait to see what you do next!
