The true stars of Vegas organize the apraxia walk
ByLaura Smith September 10, 2018September 10, 2018

This weekend I was the guest speaker at the Nevada Walk for Apraxia and stayed with the walk coordinator Alyssa Hampson and her family. I flew in the day before the walk, and her house looked very typical of any other walk coordinator. It was bursting with items such as goody bags for the kids,…
