Meet David, stroke survivor and aphasia community member.

People with aphasia have something to say.

David says it simply: "Brain good, speech not." He was 20 years old when a car accident left him with a stroke and aphasia. He has been working on his speech for seven years. He is still going.

He walks to show other young people that life goes on after a stroke. He walks so people will speak to him directly, with patience, knowing he will get there.

Our conversation and support groups give people a safe place to communicate and connect. A place to feel heard. A place to belong.

Today, walk with us.

Meet an Aphasia Warrior from Brampton, and his daughter, an ER nurse in the GTA.

People with aphasia have something to say. They have opinions, ideas, feelings, wants and needs.... just like everyone else.

Aphasia makes it hard to express those things. It does not change who a person is.
His daughter says it well: behind every pause or struggle to find words is a person with a lifetime of experiences, opinions, and stories to share.

Conversation and support groups give people a safe place to communicate and connect. A place to feel heard. A place to belong.

This June, a father and daughter walk together. One who knows aphasia from the inside. One who has learned what communication really means because of him.

This June, walk with us.

Meet Shawna, Behaviour Analyst & Co-owner of Evergreen 💙

Most people have never heard of a Behaviour Analyst working in aphasia therapy. Shawna's role is about figuring out how to teach communication skills in a way that actually works for each individual person: breaking skills down, tracking what's working, and making sure progress moves beyond the therapy room into real life.

We asked her three questions: what she wants people to know, why this walk matters, and why she walks.

Swipe to read her answers.

This is part of our 10 Stories · 10 Years series, sharing voices from a decade of the Talk, Stroll & Roll Walkathon.

Join us June 19 at Chinguacousy Park, Brampton.

Walk, roll, or stroll — come as you are.
