No Spoken Words for 26 Hours, 26 April 2020
NETA is joining the 2.6 Challenge.

Story

As part of NETA's 2.6 Challenge, I will stop using spoken language abruptly at 4pm on 26th April. For people with Aphasia this is how sudden language loss can be after stroke or brain injury. I will keep this going for 26 hours, and I hope you will sponsor me to provide badly needed funding to continue NETA's life-affirming support work. 

According to my husband and grandkids, this is a major challenge for a chatty person like me. However, imagine what it must be like if you don't know if or when it is going to end!
