Welcome to Cerebral Palsy Strong! My name is Katy Fetters & I started CPstrong in order to sustain my existence in the online space long after my blog for teens with cerebral palsy fell behind as I entered into adulthood. Most importantly, I want to have a place where I can share stories about myself, others, and our experiences of life [in our 20's] with cerebral palsy.
