Cerebral Palsy

My name is Lincoln! I have cerebral palsy, developmental delay, seizures, hearing loss, vision impairment, and a grade 4 brain bleed among several other diagnoses. I wear hearing aids in both ears, braces on both legs and glasses. I have learned to become an advocate for myself and my peers! Although life has put me on a difficult path, I consistently show perseverance to better myself! I am a happy kid who truly enjoys life.

I love sports (as you can see from my left leg brace) but specifically hockey – I play sled hockey with a local nonprofit. My right brace is the USA flag because I got to play with, learn from and watch the U.S. men’s & women’s Paralympic sled hockey teams so I wanted a brace to match the same pattern as their custom sleds. My glasses and hearing aids (both ears) are blue – my favorite color! My butterfly is green, the color for Cerebral Palsy awareness.
