Christy Keeley was born with cerebral palsy. She says that growing up in an able-bodied school with CP was one of the biggest frustrations she ever encountered. She was born with a moderate form of cerebral palsy known as spastic diplegia.

In order for her to walk she had to constantly be aware of each process of walking. Loosing her concentration or becoming tired meant she would fall right down. But she worked hard and never gave up.

As she grew older, Keeley took up a sport called hillwalking. Hillwalking helped provide her with a sense of mental and physical wellbeing. Going to the pool and doing lanes and then heading up the side of the mountain was a wonderful way for her to eliminate negative energy.

Christy does her hillwalking with a group of friends and she says the mental and physical payback makes it all worth it. She has other, even loftier goals as well.

One of these goals is to climb the world's highest mountains and sail the world's roughest seas, running fast-paced marathons and riding motorbikes.

She says that cerebral palsy has brought its fair share of frustrations, but Christy has refused to give up. She is yet another wonderful example of the kind of determination CP patients have.
