5-8% of children stammer. There is no "cure" but there are plenty of tools that can help children minimise their stutter. As you can imagine, stuttering not only impairs communication but can have a profound impact on a child's confidence. Studies have shown early intervention leads to the best results. I've been very fortunate to have had access to effective speech therapy during my adolescent years. No doubt my life trajectory would've been very different had i not received timely intervention.

I'm looking forward to raise funds for the good people at STAMMA UK who are creating a better world for people who stammer. Committed to tackling public perceptions of what it means to stammer and remove the shame, stigma, intolerance and misunderstanding experienced by people who stammer. Through their website (stamma.org), Helpline (0808 802 0002 open weekdays 10am-noon and 6pm-8pm) and support of local meetup and self-help groups, STAMMA provide information and assistance to people who stammer as well as those close to them.
