We want to welcome Team Patrick to the 2020 Champions Club! Team Patrick celebrated in the 2020 Detroit Virtual Walk for Apraxia. When asked about the importance of participating in the Walk for Apraxia, the team responded with, Apraxia Kids is a fantastic organization that has really helped our family over the last couple of years. Specifically, to our family, the organization has provided us with educational materials to inform family, friends, and teachers about Apraxia.... The pamphlets for teachers (which the organization provides us for free!) help inform Patrick’s teachers about his speech disorder, what he struggles with and what they can do to help him succeed in the classroom. It’s important for us to give back to an organization that has helped us so that they can help so many more families in the future. Being in the Champions Club is so humbling. We have raised our target goal multiple times. The support from our friends and family has been amazing! Read more about Team Patrick: https://secure.apraxia-kids.org/site//Walk/WalkForChildren
