Can you help grow $ for an international aphasia awareness campaign?
Imagine not being able to communicate. Imagine not having the words to explain why you can't.

We are raising funds for the first global #aphasia awareness campaign. Here's where we are up to!

Give if you can or host a morning tea or bake sale, & please share.

Our vision for this international campaign is that a combined effort by the global #aphasia community will amplify the voices of people living with aphasia and help bring about a much-needed societal response to improve the lives of the millions living with aphasia worldwide. Join us!
#BASconf25
This is exciting! An opportunity to make our co-designed international aphasia awareness campaign a reality. Please join us and #MatchtheMomentum for #AphasiaAwareness!
#Aphasia affects millions - yet awareness remains heartbreakingly low.
