FNQ Cerebral Palsy Support Group
The FNQ Cerebral Palsy Support Group Inc. are a charitable organisation started by a small group of passionate parents of children with cerebral palsy.
In 2012, the group reached out to families with children affected by rare diseases, giving them support where previously there was none.
A percentage of proceeds will go to the FNQ CP League to assist in these programs. fnqcpsupportgroup.com
