Let me spell it out for you - I'm running a marathon to support young Kiwis who can't talk.

$2,086 of $6,000 goal

Raising funds for Spell to Communicate practitioner training fees.

Nelson / Tasman

Two years ago, Owen began learning how to spell to communicate, with his mum. Before this we had to be mindreaders, desperately hoping that we were doing the right things for him. Thanks to Spell to Communicate, we know now how he feels, what he thinks and it has made him so much happier - we've discovered he is quite a character! Meghan wants to help others like Owen, who are unable to express themselves through speech, by becoming a qualified practitioner. Running the marathon is my way of supporting her to do this.

Meghan is my wife and mother to our son Owen who spells to Communicate.

Use of funds

Tuition fees for the 6.5 month course. Meghan will be a practitioner and therefore able to train others to learn S2C.
