As Developmental Disability Awareness Month and Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month come to an end, we are happy to share an essay that we think will be meaningful to our families.
The author is a special friend to Camp Cheerful, Brian Trapp. He is a former counselor who published a book last year inspired by the time he and his brother spent at Camp Cheerful.

"Sometimes I had to be my brother’s arms, legs, eyes and voice," writes Brian Trapp. "It often didn’t feel like a burden, more like an alternative way of moving through the world."
