This petition is to raise awareness for Cerebral Palsy, which is a disability that is caused by not gaining enough oxygen to your brain. Cerebral Palsy like every disability has its challenges. The stiff muscles during the day, the tremors which make it almost a chore to brush your teeth, and shaving well… lets not even go there. This has been a journey for me and thousands of people that has had its struggles, its cases of depression, and yes, even its shed of tears. However, it is not talked about much in the media. That is why we plan to send this petition to Larry King at CNN after we get 10000 signatures. I am a college student studying Journalism and I will not give up until awareness is brought to this incurable condition. NO MONEY IS REQUIRED I just need your signature. Thank you for your support! Also join us in discussing a cure on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.phpgid=96354291680&ref=ts

Good luck with your journalism career. We really do need more people like you reporting on things that actually matter.

Keep at it! People need to see the real side of things not just what they want to show on tv.

About time someone spoke up. Media barely mentions it.

My brother has CP and nobody ever talks about it. It is exhausting how ignored this condition is by the news networks.

CNN needs to cover this. way too many people have no idea what it is actually like to live with this condition every single day.

SO TRUE. the daily struggles are so real and people just look the other way because they dont want to be uncomfortable. shame on them.
