Chicago Walk for Apraxia

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 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”.

Fighting for My Voice

Saturday 22nd Aug
I don’t like giving speeches in class because it’s hard for me to get the words out when people are looking at me. That’s how Apraxia is, but this Friday I did something great. With my best friend, I sang karaoke at school with some football players and some crazies. It was fun. 

Thank you to my Donors
