''Having cerebral palsy myself, I feel tremendously motivated and inspired by such a socially and historically important project. It is vital to be able to explain 'what it's like', and I hope others will gain inspiration and awareness from hearing about the lifelong experience of living with cerebral palsy.''
Philip Mann, volunteer co-ordinator
