 <\/p>\n

A woman with cerebral palsy has decided to climb as many stairs as she can on July 22, for a nonprofit organization raising money to help people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Becca Neels, 24, has cerebral palsy, a brain disorder that is usually present from birth. It leaves a person\u2019s limbs rigid, weak, or floppy, making it very hard for a person to maintain their balance<\/strong><\/a> or coordinate their limbs in other ways.<\/p>\n

Neels decided she\u2019d take on this challenge to raise money for a cause she feels connected to. The nonprofit — called Adaptable Outdoors — helps people with cerebral palsy overcome the physical and mental barriers that keep them from spending time outside. For Neels, it means she can continue enjoying some of her favorite activities, like kayaking, fishing, and hiking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come to realize that God has created me the way he\u2019s created me for a reason\u2026 To be a voice for people with disabilities and to help people in general,\u201d she told The Morning News. \u201cThe reality is, everyone has a disability, the difference is that some are visible and some are not.\u201d<\/p>\n
