A general overview of the las 19 years.
I was born April 12, 1995 at just 23 weeks gestation. I only weighed1 pound 2.5 ounces. From day one I've been a fighter I came out kicking and screaming and even though I don't kick and scream anymore I still have quite a bit fight in me. Over the last 19 years I have exasperated many joys but also many setbacks. I have spastic diplegia cerebral palsy due to a grade 2 brain bleed three days after birth. My CP mainly affects my legs but it also does affect my right arm quite significantly. My main mode of transportation is a power wheelchair I can do some walking but it's only for short distances and it is quite difficult. In the last 19 years I had 9 surgery only two related to my others are due to my prematurity. The two surgeries I had related to CP is a selective dorsal rhizotomy and hamstring heel cord releases. I was in general education for kindergarten first and second grade and from the repeated second-grade through my senior high of school I was in special-education with the exception of 8th grade. I graduated high school in June. As for right now I go to a day hab program which is not my favorite but I'm working on trying to get a job. This is a general overview of the last 19 years in the post to come I will go more in depth of about something in this post like education and surgeries in posts to come.

About Me
I am a 19 year old with Cerebral palsy raising money for a new power wheelchair a Permobil c500 VS I got the power wheelchair I am currently using in 2011 but sadly it hasn't worked right since day one. It also doesn't fit me right so it's very uncomfortable to sit in all day long. The reason I am rising money for a Permobil specifically is because the model I want the C500 can stand up so that means I could do so much more on my own!
Now that you know why I want the chair I'm going to tell you a little more about myself. I was born April 12th 1995 at just 23 weeks I weighted 1lbs 2.5 oz. I was not supposed to live but from day one I've been a fighter. I've been through so much in the last 19 years I couldn't even begin to explain without boarding you to death. My most recent accomplishment and the one I most proud of is in June of this year I graduated high school on time with my class!!! I appreciate all who take the time to read this.
Thank you
