Nancy Kaufman and Albiona Rakipi were so excited to provide games and prizes for kids attending the 2018 Detroit Apraxia Walk, held this year at the District Market on August 25. Nancy Kaufman also took part in the ceremony, helping to award the children for being apraxia superstars. The walk’s coordinator, KC Collier, and the Wayne State University students who assisted her made a great team and pulled off an excellent event, despite the rainy weather.

The Detroit event was one of 65 walks held this year, coordinated by the Apraxia Kids nonprofit organization, whose mission is to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with childhood apraxia of speech. The walks raise funds to support programs that help little apraxia stars shine, including educational opportunities, referral services, awareness, financial aid, support for research, and much more.

Apraxia Kids endeavors to make the apraxia community tighter, stronger, and ready for the road ahead. Click HERE for more information on the organization.
