World Cerebral Palsy Day
Cerebral Palsy is the most common childhood disability, yet around the globe, there’s a broad lack of knowledge of what it is and how it’s caused, even in the medical field.
In addition, many children and adults with cerebral palsy are at increased risk of abuse and neglect, and in some parts of the world, murder, as communities fail to offer people with CP love and quality of life.
Through World CP Day they build awareness of what CP is, how it’s caused, and how early detection and intervention is the key to improving outcomes for people with CP.
As World CP Day continues to grow in popularity, they will continue to show the world all the incredible things that people with cerebral palsy achieve when barriers are removed.
World CP Day is an opportunity for the whole world to come together to recognize and celebrate the 17 million people around the world living with cerebral palsy.
On 6 October every year, individuals, families, and organizations celebrate by sharing stories, hosting events, and wearing the color green.
They have celebrated in a number of ways since World CP Day began in 2012.
National LED Light Day
This marks the first year aka celebration of LED Light Day. At Bridgelux Lights, they wanted to find a fun way to celebrate all things LED. They are a company that is passionate about lighting and is working to build the best and highest-quality LED lighting.
Let us hope they pay their electric bill on time, or it’s lights out for them.
Lastly, about that coffee with a cop day …
Officer: You are under arrest
Person: Can I finish my coffee first?
I would say that would end that pleasantry.
More Strange Holidays Thursday!
