Owen Henre - Virtual Walk for Talk 2020

Owen continues on his hearing and talking journey - and he has something he wants to tell you!  His school, Northern Voices is hosting its 11th Walk For Talk 5K, and he wants you to be a part of it! This year it's a virtual walk for talk - and although we can't be together to celebrate, Owen would love for you to participate virtually! 

Owen will be going into his fourth year at Northern Voices - and this school is honestly the most wonderful place for a child with hearing loss. When Owen started at 14 months he could say "ah" and once we heard "mm". Today, he talks all the time. He's constantly telling us stories, and making us understand his wants. He's turned his "I can't do it!" into "I can do it myself!"  In three years he's progressed leaps and bounds in his oral language and he wouldn't be doing this without the intense intervention he's gotten at this amazing school. This school not only teaches him - they also teach us what we need to do to encourage oral language and what we need to do to help him progress.

We would love for you to join in on the fun for the 5K event. Twenty-five percent of your donation amount goes towards Owen's tuition to attend Northern Voices. Thank you for your love and support!
