Welcome back to another episode of the You're Not Alone Podcast!
This week we are joined by 17 year old, Ryder, and his parents, Kira and Greg! Ryder shares thoughtful insight to growing up with cerebral palsy (CP). Ryder is wise beyond his years and advocates not only for his needs, but for others around him. Ryder lovingly describes life with his siblings, Ruby and Hudson, his younger sister and little brother. Ryder enjoys a rockstar life, attending as many rock concerts as possible and most importantly, they are great bands that Val approves of!
Buckle up as we shift gears and talk with Kira and Greg about what it was like for their first-born to arrive early at 26 weeks, surprising them every bit of the way as he miraculously surpassed doctors expectations. Around year 2, they noticed Ryder was missing some of the big milestones, and he was diagnosed with CP. Despite learning their son would have challenges ahead, they charged forward with ensuring Ryder has everything he needs to be a successful and kind person.
Along the way they have witnessed miracle after miracle, often following a challenge presented to them in which they turned to their faith to get them through it. I think it goes without saying that we are all blessed to have crossed paths with Ryder and his family. They are strong and caring, serving their community and leading by example.
We are so thankful to Ryder, Kira, and Greg for joining us to share their journey!
