Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As everyone I know has realised, I love talking!! I've decided to challenge myself to stay quiet for 12 hours. This is so that I can, in a vey brief way, experience what it's like to be unable to speak such as might occur after a stroke. Loss of speech after a stroke has a devastating effect on the stroke survivor and their family and friends. I've seen this while working for SWIT both as a Volunteer and more recently as a Trustee and I want to help this fantastic charity to continue to provide the brilliant support it gives.
