In Before You Say Goodbye we have included stories of real Canadian youth and young adults. Ashley’s faith journey is one we could all learn from. Watch her video below. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, a condition that causes your muscles to spasm and be very tight all of the time. I had spinal […]
