I am running the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2025 in order to promote awareness of the commonplace discrimination, misunderstanding and negative judgement of those who stammer, stutter or suffer from non-fluency.

As someone who stammers and has faced these things, this is a cause very close to my heart.

STAMMA’s mission:

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.
