All In

About this episode

When Dayton Hayward was born with cerebral palsy nearly 30 years ago, his mother doesn't remember feeling overwhelmed. Instead, she remembers feeling honored to be his mother. In the years since, that same sense of honor has become a defining part of the entire Hayward family. On this week's episode, we sit down with Dayton, his mother and his sister to talk about the challenges that have come with cerebral palsy, the unexpected blessings it has brought into their lives and the ways Dayton has made their family—and their lives—richer.
