North Central PA Walk for Apraxia

Why I walk for Apraxia Kids!

This year, my family and I are participating in the Walk for Apraxia in honor of a very special little boy who means so much to us. He is one of my daughter's closest friends, and we are walking to support him.

Childhood apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to communicate, but with the right therapy and support, they can make amazing progress. Every child deserves the chance to find their voice.

We're walking to help raise awareness, support families, and fund research and resources that make a real difference. If you're able, please consider donating to this important cause. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring hope to children with apraxia and the families who cheer them on every step of the way.

Thank you for supporting our team and for helping us walk for a future where every child has the opportunity to be heard. 🩵


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”.
