Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

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 believe in the power of awareness!

In 2021, my youngest child was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech and from that day, I vowed to do everything in my power to help them find their voice! Since then, I set off on my journey to become a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) so I could change the lives of other individuals who struggle with communication challenges. I want to help others find their voice, just as my child's SLP had done for them. 

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”.
