Run for Aphasia

Run for Aphasia
Story
On the 16th of October I'm going to run/crawl 10km for Aphasia!
Aphasia ("ay-faze-yuh") is a communication disability that results from damage to parts of the brain responsible for language. It does not affect intelligence. The most common causes of aphasia are stroke and brain injury.
There is a fantastic 5-minute video that explains aphasia a lot more eloquently than I can. If you have a spare 5 minutes it's definitely worth the watch: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/aphasia-the-disorder-that-makes-you-lose-your-words-susan-wortman-jutt
All donations will be going to Australian Aphasia Association (AAA): a not-for-profit organisation that supports people living with aphasia, and their families. Giving people with aphasia visibility and improving their accessibility is something that we feel very strongly about.
Please donate whatever you can afford! 
It's a fantastic organisation and a great cause!

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.
