The Toronto 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser in support of The Speech and Stuttering Institute is entering its 7th year on Sunday September 23, 2018.
The first 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser was held on September 23, 2012. From a seed idea, the commitment of volunteers, the support, guidance and professional involvement of The Speech and Stuttering Institute, 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser has come a long way. You can view photos of our past walks on our Flickr site!
I am writing this letter to ask if you will consider supporting our event by either becoming a member of our Planning Team, helping us to Fundraise and to Volunteer on the day of this event. The Speech and Stuttering Institute is unparalleled in their expert delivery of service and they fill a vital need in our community. I am sure that you would agree with me, that over the years, Dr. Robert Kroll and his staff of The Speech and Stuttering Institute has literally transformed lives through their tireless efforts and excellent speech and stuttering programs.
Although retired, relocating to Mount Pearl NL from Toronto in 2017, and to pay it forward, in the process of introducing in 2018, 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser to Newfoundland and Labrador, I continue to be committed to promoting public awareness of stuttering and especially committed to Dr. Robert Kroll and his staff of The Speech and Stuttering Institute for the invaluable contribution that they have made in my life.
With your support and involvement, our 7th 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser will be a success. I recognize and appreciate that this will require a significant commitment of your time and energy; however, this cause is worth the commitment!
For those of you that are available to help with Planning, Fundraising and Volunteering for our event, please feel free to email or call.
Save the Date of Sunday September 23, 2018 for our 7th annual 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser in support of The Speech and Stuttering Institute.
I look forward discussing this with you in greater detail in the coming weeks
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
