Did you know…

A speech therapy program can make a significant difference in the quality of life in a person that stutters.
Clinics like The Speech and Stuttering Institute help people who stutter live productive and engaging lives as a result of evidence-based individualized speech therapy methods.
Significant funds are required to provide speech therapy services to those afflicted with stuttering, who often find themselves on long wait lists. With additional funds, their needs will be met sooner.

Note from our Walk&Run Founder & Coordinator – My name is Greg O’Grady and I am a graduate of the Speech Reconstruction for Stutterers program. This program has made a invaluable contribution in the quality of my life personally and professionally. As a token of my appreciation to Dr. Bob Kroll and to his staff of the Speech and Stuttering Institute, I suggested the first 2012 “a million things I need to say” 1k/5k Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness. Since 2012, “a million things I need to say” 1k/5k Walk for Stuttering Awareness has become an annual event. We are currently planning our 2016 event, and I would like to invite you to participate in and support our 2016 “a million things I need to say” 1k/5k Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness.

Planning and organizing of such an event requires a significant commitment of time and energy. A big thank you is extended to the Planning Committee, volunteers, friends, family and colleagues that have made this commitment to ensure that the 2016 “a million things I need to say” 1k/5k Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness is successful.
