Launched in late 2005 by two mothers in Atlanta, Georgia, RFTS has grown into the largest pediatric Cerebral Palsy nonprofit foundation in the world led by parents, with a focus on the Prevention, Treatment and Cure of Cerebral Palsy. Committed to serving the needs of children with Cerebral Palsy, their families, and the caregivers involved in their care. The RFTS mission is centered on the belief that leading-edge pediatric research, increased awareness and education will lead to new treatments of Cerebral Palsy, improving the lives of impacted children and their families. Research for CP, particularly in children, is under-supported and severely under-funded which is slowing progress towards better understanding what causes Cerebral Palsy, how to best treat it and how to eventually cure it.
