Pittsburgh 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”.

Sunday 26th Jul
Camden was diagnosed when he was 3 years old and has made tremendous stride in his articulation and communication skills. He is a very social little guy especially if your offering him a toy or a snack haaa. He has so many friends at his early childhood center which  is so sweet because these children really accept him and genuinely like being around him. 

CAS is not curable and not talked about enough. Not being able to communicate or articulate what you want or feel is a HUGE barrier. We definitely take being able to speak for granted but kids like Camden truly appreciate being able to be understood by their peers, family members, teachers, and strangers. 

Apraxia Kids organization is a wonderful organization that helps families like myself get the necessary resources/supports to get through this tough journey. They are not well known as other organizations that support families with children with disabilities but they are making different in families lives everyday. 

If you are able to donate to our team's page we would be forever grateful. Every dollars counts! You can also register to walk with us and keep us in your prayers as well. Thank you and God bless!
