Around 70 percent of people with CP in China have failed to treat the illness in its early stages and consequently missed out on the best rehabilitation opportunities, according to Ms. Fei Wei, deputy chairperson of CFDP.

Aside from financial assistance, DeerKids aims to promote a rehabilitation therapy measure, one that combines modern sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques. The therapy, established by Dr. Li Yuguang, is exempted from any surgical procedures or medication, yet consists of a 100 percent physical treatment.

Dr. Li has reportedly treated more than 1,000 patients, among whom more than 95 percent have effectively recovered. Jia's daughter was one of them.

"Rehabilitation for a CP child is a long process with the best treat opportunity starting from the sixth month after birth. If treated well and timely, some CP children are able to rehabilitate to healthy people," he said.

Many children suffering from CP do not show clear signs of the disease until much later, one reason why their parents often fail to get them proper treatment in a timely manner, said Dr. Li.
