Strides for Stuttering Logo
Every August we step up and make a meaningful impact on the lives of over 3 million people in the United States who stutter! Since 2021, nearly 300 5K participants from 20+ states and 3 countries have walked 900 miles to make strides for stuttering!

Stuttering is not only a speech challenge; it's a neurological condition with profound psychological and emotional implications, exacerbated by societal misconceptions and negative reactions. Many individuals who stutter feel marginalized, isolated, and burdened by myths surrounding their condition.

Did you know that only a fraction of certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are adequately trained to support those who stutter? It's time to change this narrative, and that's where you come in!

Join us at Spero Stuttering in our mission to raise awareness, debunk myths, and ensure that more SLPs are equipped with the necessary skills to provide effective care. By participating in our 5K fundraiser, you're not just taking strides for yourself; you're making a difference for an entire community. Your support enables us to empower and advocate for those who stutter and their families. Let's make Strides for Stuttering together and contribute to a future where everyone who stutters receives the understanding and support they deserve!
The registration page is live from April-August annually.
