October 5th is World Cerebral Palsy Day, a move to help raise awareness and support for this common disability.

Those who have Cerebral Palsy are often misunderstood and mistreated and one Airdrie Woman knows that well.

Lovepreet Deo was born with Cerebral Palsy, but that hasn't stopped her from moving forward with her life and helping others across the Province.

"In 2005, I started working for Cerebral Palsy of Alberta. I started doing a work experience with them."

Deo has also participated in the "Life Without Limits" challenge were she's rode her bike as a way to encourage others.

"I've done it for ten years...for the past eight years, I've been going five kilometres on a bike."

Among one of the many initiatives from Cerebral Palsy Day is an effort to erase the misconceptions of the disability.

"Cerebral Palsy is a disorder, it's not a disease," says Deo, "Most people with Cerebral Palsy, they suffer from aches and pains just like everyone else."

Cerebral Palsy Day first started in 2012 and has support from over 400 International organizations.
