Meet Helen.
Affectionately known as "Smiley", Helen is a much-loved member of her community whose infectious smile and positive outlook brighten the lives of everyone around her.
From singing in the Spirits of the Streets Choir and cheering on the West Coast Eagles to working, swimming, cooking and spending time with friends, Helen's life is full of connection, independence and joy.
This World Cerebral Palsy Day, we're celebrating Helen and recognising that cerebral palsy is just one part of a person's story. With the right support, opportunities and encouragement, people with cerebral palsy can pursue their goals, build meaningful relationships and live life on their own terms.
