For those of you who have not read our (lengthy) white paper, PPC is working on improving health care transition for young adults with chronic medical conditions & disabilities (CMCD). Young adults, 18-30 years, need to be in optimal health so they can live learn, work, live and love. Parents and others who work with young people with CMCD are constantly amazed by their grace, will, and strength to overcome barriers and achieve their dreams. Society has yet to acknowledge the leadership that young people with CMCD can provide to both elders and youngsters.
When healthy peers embrace young people with CMCD, magic is possible. Who would ever imagine that a young actor with cerebral palsy could perform a sensuous dance? Gregg Mozgala is the tip of the iceberg. He is fascinating and moves beautifully. See for yourself and make it your mission to promote embracement of all young people with CMCD – you will see the magic.
