Step up and make a meaningful impact on the lives of over 3 million people in the United States who stutter! Stuttering is not just a speech challenge; it's a neurological condition with profound psychological and emotional implications, exacerbated by societal misconceptions and negative reactions. Many individuals who stutter feel marginalized, isolated, and burdened by myths surrounding their condition.
Did you know that only a fraction of certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are adequately trained to support those who stutter? It's time to change this narrative, and that's where you come in! Join us at Spero Stuttering in our mission to raise awareness, debunk myths, and ensure that more SLPs are equipped with the necessary skills to provide effective care.
By participating in our 5K fundraiser, you're not just taking strides for yourself; you're making a difference for an entire community. Your support will enable us to empower and advocate for those who stutter and their families.
Be a part of this transformative event hosted by Spero Stuttering – let's make Strides for Stuttering together! Your involvement will contribute to a future where everyone who stutters receives the understanding and support they deserve. Register now and help us turn the tide for a more inclusive and compassionate world!
This virtual walk/run means you can walk or run anywhere (your chosen location) anytime between August 1 and August 31. Registration closes on August 26.
