Liza Huber and Susan Lucci Work To Shine Light on Cerebral Palsy

Liza Huber and Susan Lucci
Former Passions star Liza Huber recently had a life-changing moment, watching her 7-year-old son, Brendan, walk after intense surgery.

"Brendan can now walk up the stairs, what we call reciprocal motion," Huber described. "I was sobbing the first time I saw it."

Brendan has cerebral palsy, a neurological disease that affects muscle movement.

"He is thriving, the decision that Liza made on Brendan's behalf will give him such an improved quality of life," said Huber's mother, All My Children legend and Devious Maids star Susan Lucci.

Both women are passionate about their support of United Cerebral Palsy of New York.

"United Cerebral Palsy of New York provides critical services and programs for people with disabilities in New York City and as a mother of a little boy that has Cerebral Palsy I really know first hand how important these services are," Huber said.

"There is so little known about CP, that’s why Liza and I wanted to step up to the plate and shine a light on it and the amazing work UCP is doing," Lucci explained. "It's to give them the technology, the whole world is about technology now, and the simple things to brush their teeth, to put on their shoes, the things you take for granted."

Huber and Lucci are teaming up to host this year's 'Women Who Care' luncheon, to honor female role models, who are caregivers, philanthropists and business leaders in the community.

Huber and Lucci spoke to WPIX in New York this week about their dedication to the cause. Watch their segment below.

Hit primetime serial Devious Maids returns for a third season on a new night, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime, beginning June 1st. Executive produced by Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria, Devious Maids follows five maids with ambition and dreams of their own while working for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

Devious Maids is set in a world where murder and mayhem collide in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families. Class warfare has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tony enclave where the staff is as clever, witty and downright as devilish as their employers. The series has centered on a close-­knit group of maids, Marisol (Ana Ortiz), Rosie (Dania Ramírez), Carmen (Roselyn Sánchez), Valentina (Edy Ganem) and Zoila (Judy Reyes), who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers. Devious Maids also stars Daytime Emmy winner Susan Lucci (All My Children), Grant Show (Melrose Place), Rebecca Wisocky (The Mentalist), Tom Irwin (Grey’s Anatomy) and Drew Van Acker (Pretty Little Liars). Indie Series Award nominee Brianna Brown (General Hospital) and Brett Cullen (The Dark Knight Rises) make a return to the series this season, joining new cast members Naya Rivera (Glee), Gilles Marini (Switched at Birth), Cristián de la Fuente (Valiant Love), John O’Hurley (The Young and the Restless), Justina Machado (Six Feet Under), Nathan Owens (Days of our Lives) and Julie Claire (Web Therapy).

Season three picks up at the height of last year’s shocking cliffhanger where a deranged gunman takes aim at the maids during Rosie and Spence’s wedding, leaving everyone to wonder who will survive. In the wake of this tragedy, the women lean on each other like never before, even as they face complex problems in their own lives. Zoila ponders her next steps after discovering that she is pregnant and uncertain who the father may be. Carmen realizes there is more than meets the eye to the charming Sebastien (Gilles Marini).

Meanwhile, Valentina and Remi struggle to connect in the aftermath of the shooting; Marisol’s aspirations lead her to a surprising career change; and Blanca (Naya Rivera), a new maid in the neighborhood, lands a job with a seemingly picture-­perfect family, but soon discovers a terrible secret that could change her life forever.
