Alanna, Ed and Leah have decided to cycle the London to Brighton bike race this September 17th to raise money for Action for Stammering Children! Please help us to raise £750 by donating today!

As many of you know, I (Alanna) work for ASC and see firsthand how important this charity is to the lives of children and young people who stammer across the UK. I have been so impressed on many occasions by the members of our Youth Panel and the amazing work at the Michael Palin Centre, and feel inspired to get out there this year and help raise some money! 

ASC commissions the delivery of specialist services that transform the lives of children and young people who stammer. Stammering is a severe communication disability which impairs social, emotional and educational development. Estimates suggest that 5% of children will stammer at some point and approximately 1% continue to stammer into adulthood. Stammering crosses all races, cultures, religions and social groupings, conceals intellectual ability, affects educational choices and achievement, results in impaired communication skills and frequently becomes a focus for teasing and bullying.
