Libby's London Marathon

The first to run wearing our new Stamma running vests, Libby Orrett raised over £1000 for the BSA and CALM in the London Marathon earlier this month.  

My Motivation

My mum has been a Speech and Language Therapist for over 30 years and my boyfriend has had a stammer since childhood, so I’ve seen first-hand how important support within the stammering community is.

I’ve learnt through both of them that having a stammer can make the world feel like a lonely place, and without the support of organisations such as the BSA, people who stammer may spend a lot of their energy internalising their struggles, feeling they have nowhere to turn.

So I hope that putting all of my energy into the 26.2 mile race will help draw some attention to the work the BSA does, and raise some money to contribute towards some of the amazing services it provides.

Thank you so so much for donating - I'm overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and together we've absolutely smashed my fundraising target."
