Our Stories
“When our son Otto was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, we didn’t know if he’d ever walk. Getting him to roll over was one of our first goals, and now we’re working on him potentially taking steps. These are things we never imagined he’d be able to do. We want Otto to have the normal childhood he deserves and we know the CDC has helped make that possible.”
