Stepping Up, Pushing Limits, Breaking Barriers for CP and Team Frankie
In July of 2023, when Frankie was just 7-months-old, she suffered a major anoxic brain injury that changed her life forever. She spent 2 months at Seattle Children's Hospital and an additional 2 months rehabbing at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago where she was given her long-term diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting 18 million people worldwide. Yet research into its causes and treatments is among the most underfunded in medicine. That’s where Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) comes in. They fund early-stage research that meets the needs of people with CP and related conditions at every age and stage of life. These discoveries make a real difference for individuals, families, and care teams.
Will you join #TeamFrankie and make a donation to support this work? Your gift is more than an act of generosity, it’s a powerful investment in research and technology that changes lives.
Together, we can help build a more inclusive and accessible world for everyone.
Hugs and kisses from Frankie! xoxo
