Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

Our son Phoenix has childhood apraxia of speech. He works extremely hard everyday to access his words and express himself an ability that most of us take for granted. We want to support our son who is our families greatest blessing. He brings so much joy and laughter to all of our lives and we will always walk beside him in this journey by bringing support, education, and awareness to this important cause that has deeply impacted our sweet boys life.

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”.
