Join us for the 60 Mile Challenge for CP

Join us this May in rallying support for the cerebral palsy (CP) community and our research work at the CP Research Network with the 60 Mile Challenge for CP Research! This peer-to-peer fundraiser is a great way to raise awareness for CP and provide a way for your friends and family to improve the lives of people with CP by raising money for our national research efforts. You can join the challenge on Facebook and raise money there or, if your are not active on Facebook, on our 60 Mile Challenge event website. And you can clock your miles any way you see fit – Fitbit, wheelchair odometer, Strava, phone app, whatever works for you and how you move! You can create a team, do it solo or just support someone else that is doing it. Share your progress on Facebook to get support for your efforts!

The 60 Mile Challenge for CP Research is the first in a series of peer-to-peer fundraising activities that we will conduct this year. Our goal is to raise funds to support our expanding research agenda to answer critical questions in the care of children and adults with CP. The CP Research Network is the largest and most comprehensive collaboration of hospitals and community members working together to improve health outcomes for people with CP. We host the largest community and clinical registries in the US to gather robust and comprehensive data for research. We focus our research and consumer educational content on the health and wellness outcomes that people with cerebral palsy value most.
