Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

My nephew, Grayson Parrish, means the world to me, and he along with kids just like him need our support. He is the most loving and kind 3-year-old who is full of things to say and share, but he has to work so much harder to do so. I want to show him and those like him that they are not alone and that their hard work matters. My sister, brother-in-law, and Grayson's older brother also mean the world to me, and our support can help make things easier for them as well. They deserve all of our support and more for the hard work and love they pour into Grayson every single day.

I walk to support all children diagnosed with apraxia of speech - our Apraxia Stars. To show these children they are not alone and to acknowledge all the hard work they must do to overcome communication challenges that affect their day-to-day lives.  

I walk to raise funds for the mission of Apraxia Kids – to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with apraxia of speech by educating professionals and families; facilitating community engagement and outreach; and investing in the future through advocacy and research.

Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation now or by joining our team.  You, too, can make an impact for children and families affected by apraxia!

I believe, “Every child deserves a voice”.
