Cat and Jon are running the Munich marathon in October for Afasic, a UK charity which supports children and young people with speech, language and communication impairments and their parents and carers (www.afasic.org.uk).

Together we need to raise £1,250 so please dig deep and sponsor us!

About Afasic

Afasic was founded in 1968 as a parent-led organisation to help children and young people with speech and language impairments and their families. We provide information and training for parents - and professionals - and produce a range of publications. Members meet in local groups in many areas of the UK.

Today, Afasic:

• has over 2000 members - parents, professionals and supporters
• is recognised as an authority in its field
• provides training for parents and professionals

Afasic's mission:

Afasic promotes understanding, acceptance, equal opportunities and the inclusion into society of children and young adults with speech and language impairments.
