The 4th Annual #WalkforTalk sponsored by Dysphonia International

Tanya Meyer, MD (left), and Emily Wilson, MS, CCC-SLP, jointly lead the University of Washington’s neurolaryngology clinic, one of the largest on the West Coast. Over the weekend of Oct 12-15, they joined thousands across the country in this annual walk-run-bike-swim fundraiser by Dysphonia International. The event raises awareness of the challenges faced by individuals with voice conditions such as laryngeal dystonia (also known as spasmodic dysphonia) and raises funds for vital research. Dr. Meyer has authored many publications examining the impact of laryngeal dystonia on this patient population and exploring ways to improve treatment outcomes. 

The event was a great success, surpassing its fundraising goal, and the little ones had fun, too!
