Team Elee

Why We Support Apraxia Kids!

Many of you know that Elee has a rare genetic condition and epilepsy, but she also has childhood apraxia of speech along with severe phonological delays.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological motor speech disorder. Elee knows what she wants to say, but her brain has difficulty planning and coordinating the movements her mouth needs to make to form words. It takes an incredible amount of hard work, therapy, and practice for her to communicate. ( Elee is in speech therapy 5 days a week!)

Organizations like Apraxia Kids South Carolina use fundraising dollars to support local families, provide educational resources, advocate for children with apraxia, and help make specialized training and programs available across our state.

Joining Team Elee is completely FREE! If you'd like an official walk shirt, there is a small fundraising requirement, but that's totally optional. What means the most to us is simply having our friends and family walk beside Elee and cheer her on.

We'll be serving FREE snow cones for everyone who comes out! 

Baby Rowe is due just four days later, so there's a very real chance I'll be in the hospital or home with a newborn but we still hope to see a huge crowd there supporting our sweet girl. Knowing Elee has an army of people walking for her would mean the world to our family. 

We'd love for you to join Team Elee!
