I’m A Cerebral Palsy Supermom | BORN DIFFERENT

PROVING everyone wrong, a wife and mother has overcome incredible odds to achieve things no-one ever expected. Valerie Lawrence, 36, was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, which stopped the oxygen from reaching her brain, causing her to develop spastic cerebral palsy. Diagnosed at 17 months, she was told she would never drive, work a full-time job, and that having children would be almost impossible for her. The licensed real-estate agent, based in Peoria, Arizona, told Barcroft TV: “I've always been really hard-headed and strong. I knew what I wanted in life and I made it happen.”
