As I'm foolish enough to jump back into marathon training (and doing the Great North Run in September) I think thought I may as well raise some money for a great organisation while I’m at it.

I’m raising money for STAMMA, a charity that has quietly and consistently changed the landscape for people who stammer.

In my work with people who stammer I’ve always gone back to the information that STAMMA provides to help people understand and accept the way that they speak. Their website and social media are a really important resource for people who stammer, their friends/families and therapists who work with them - supporting means that they can continue and grow their vital work.

Thanks!

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 next five 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.
