My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.  Please donate online and help us to raise funds for the British Stammering Association.

We are taking part in the Landy Rally 2007 in September.  Up to 100 teams in their Land Rovers, covering 8 European countries in 7 days - 2300 miles!  We are travelling in our 1993 Discovery 200 Tdi.  The rally is non-speed event and we'll be travelling mainly on-road, with some gentle off-roading on the normally closed pistes at Val d'Isere and on remote tracks in the French and Spanish Pyrennes.  See our website for more details and progress reports: www.freewebs.com/tntlandyrallyteam

We are raising awareness and money for the BSA, see www.stammering.org, for more info.  This is a fantastic and worthy charity.   Did you know that...

It is widely accepted that 5% of children under the age of five will go through a phase of stammering (that's around 188,000 pre-school age children in Britain)
Up to a quarter of these children are at serious risk of developing chronic stammering which may persist into adulthood without intervention during the pre-school years.
In the under fives twice as many boys stammer as girls.
 

The BSA provide information and support to people who stammer, their parents/carers, teachers and other professionals.  They also hold conferences and raise awareness, e.g. of the importance of early intervention through the pre-school dysfluency project.  As a speech and language therapist (Lu), I have found their leaflets and information invaluable, whilst working with young children and their families.  Please help us to support them.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The British Stammering Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you for your support.

Well we did it!  Boy was that a long way - leaving early each morning and usually putting the tent up in the dark!  But what an experience - fantastic people and scenery!  Need to sleep for a week! We'll now be collecting the money people have pledged off-line and this page is open until November.  please keep donating for this fantastic cause.  Cheers Lu and T xxxx
