In this episode, we delve into cerebral palsy, a neurological condition that affects movement and muscle coordination. Tahnee is joined by Neil and his wife, Mary Harris, to discuss the causes, symptoms, and various treatment options, including physical therapy and surgery. Tune in to gain valuable insights into how cerebral palsy impacts individuals and their families, and why self-care is essential to prevent burnout. Discover how early intervention can significantly enhance outcomes and improve quality of life for children affected by the condition.

For Neil, self-care meant riding his motorbike. This passion led him to write HondaBoy, a deeply personal family story that connects two seemingly unrelated topics: the thrill of motorcycling and the survivor’s guilt stemming from escaping a devastating family illness.
