Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

I'm a speech pathologist with a passion for helping kids with childhood apraxia of soeech. These kids know what they want to say but have a hard time with the motor planning and programming needed to tell their articulators (lips, tongue, jaw) how and when to move. 

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”.
