10 | THE REVIEW SEPT 2025 Help raise the profile of Cerebral Palsy We’re checking in with members who have shared their story for Be Green & Be Seen to see where they are now. By MELANIE LOUDEN World Cerebral Palsy Day, on October 6, is just around the corner. This is your chance to help raise awareness about how common Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi is. Every effort to increase knowledge and understanding, and to make sure that people who live with Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi are seen, makes a difference. You could get involved with the Cerebral Palsy Society’s annual campaign Be Green & Be Seen 2025. Since it’s inception, Be Green & Be Seen has had generous support from Cerebral Palsy Society members, friends and whānau of the Society, the general public and businesses. This year we’re checking in with some of the members who kindly shared their stories as part of previous campaigns. Keep an eye on our social media to see more about what they, and other members, have been up to in our “Where are they now” series. Whether you organise a green- themed morning tea, dress up day or bake sales at your workplace, your child’s kindy or school, or you share a little something about your, or your whānau’s, personal journey with Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi, it all helps. Be Green & Be Seen began in 2021. We chose the colour green because it is the international colour of Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi. And we chose October to coincide with World Cerebral Palsy Day.
