Story

Thanks for dropping by my JustGiving page!

I became a Trustee for STAMMA in 2023 and “It’s How We Walk" is my way of raising awareness and much needed funds for a charity I believe in so strongly.

Even though I am a keen walker, this is going to be a challenge for me to fit around my work/life schedule and my summer holidays!

I’m setting a target for myself that I am comfortable with and is achievable and I’ve chosen a distance that will challenge me without being so extreme even the idea of it puts me off starting!

I’ll be out in all weathers, so knowing that other people will be walking too to complete their own challenge will keep me going.

Let’s all get out and enjoy the outdoors this summer!”

We are committed to tackling public perceptions of what it means to stammer and remove the shame, stigma, intolerance and misunderstanding experienced by people who stammer. Our plan over the three few years is to push EVERY organisation to ensure they are  accessible to people who stammer and normalise stammering. So that people expect it, plan for it, respond better.

To achieve this, we need to scale up our training, support and services. So whatever you can raise for STAMMA will be appreciated. 

Thank you for your continued support.
