My grandson Lewis Stillman has Apraxia. He is five years old and started kindergarten this past year. Thanks to the support from the Apraxia Kids organization and intensive speech therapy twice a week, his speech and communication have improved immensely. He will continue to require support to keep improving his communication.
I will participate in the Walk for Apraxia in Guelph on September 28th. My fundraising goal this year is $500. I am asking for your support.
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”.
