Running for Aphasia - Melbourne Marathon 2018

Story

Hi there!

We are the Speech Pathology Students' Society from The University of Melbourne making a difference and running for people with Aphasia. We will be participating in the Melbourne Marathon on the 14th of October and we’d appreciate any contribution, big or small.

 

This year we will be raising funds for the Australian Aphasia Association. In doing so, we hope to raise awareness about Aphasia, a condition not commonly known by the general public. Aphasia is a language difficulty caused by damage to the brain. People with aphasia may have difficulty with talking, understanding what others say, reading, writing, using numbers and gestures. Aphasia can happen to anyone. Donations help to fund AAA services for people with aphasia and their families and friends. 


Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Australian Aphasia Association.

Thanks so much for your support!

    Australian Aphasia Association Inc

    Aphasia is caused by stroke or other damage to the language centres of the brain. Head injury, tumours, or infections and inflammation in the brain may be other causes.


    Aphasia affects every person differently. Some people have only mild difficulties, others have very severe communication problems. Importantly, people with aphasia are competent and intelligent and still have thoughts, opinions and emotions. They can still solve problems and can still make decisions.


    However people with aphasia often know what they want to say, but have difficulties getting their messages out.
