Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

I walk to support my 4 year old son. Who was diagnosed at 3 years old. Watching him struggle to make his needs know. He struggled every day until he was able to get his AAC, which the school district never came through. Apraxia kids did come through for us. Stating they were working on it.  We walk to raise awareness, as I've never heard of children ever being diagnosed. I was devastated when he was diagnosed. It's my turn to support parents, family's and friends who are walking down this path with us. 

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”.
