United Cerebral Palsy of North Alabama

My name is Darby Keith, and I am raising money for United Cerebral Palsy of North Alabama! I am organizing a Shoals Area Buddy Walk through the National Down Syndrome Society on March 21st, 2023, World Down Syndrome Day, to raise awareness for Down Syndrome and other disabilities. The money that we raise will be sent to UCP Shoals. I was inspired to raise awareness for Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other disabilities by Walter Hovator, a close friend who has Down Syndrome. Any donation would mean so much to the individuals and families of those with disabilities in the shoals area!

United Cerebral Palsy’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by minimizing the effects of cerebral palsy and 150 similar physical disabilities. Through direct services, community education and advocacy, UCP helps individuals reach their full potential and families adjust to the special needs of their children. UCP affiliates serve more than 176,000 children and adults with disabilities and their families every day by providing services such as housing, therapy, assistive technology training, early intervention programs, individual and family support, social and recreation programs, community living, state and local referrals, employment assistance and advocacy.
