Why I’m Here: For My Brother, for My PatientsWhen I work with my patients at Gillette, I try not to impose my story and my “why” on them and their families. But inevitably, it comes up. My younger brother, Peter has cerebral palsy. He’s why I do what I do and why I’m here. I’m immensely proud of him and grateful to have had the privilege of being his sister.

Turning Can’t Into Can Since 2011: Peter’s Cerebral Palsy

JourneyIn all the ways that matter, Peter is your typical 8-year-old. He’s a protective

older brother to his younger sister Katie, loves cars, sports and Star Wars.

He’s easy to smile, quick to laugh and brings joy to all who meet him. When

you’re in Peter’s presence, the fact that he has cerebral palsy and can’t

speak, quickly becomes an afterthought.Image not found or type unknown

admittedly skeptical about how that would work. But having recently made the
