This has been a week to remember for so many reasons.

Thank you to everyone that inspired, helped, and supported me through my “24 hours of Thickened Fluids” during Speech Pathology Week. I learned so much that I now want to share with others.

Thanks to SALT for asking me to do The Thickened Fluid Challenge in the first place http://speechatlatrobe.weebly.com/

Speech Pathology week is over –  BUT , we must continue to talk with others about the importance of communication and swallowing in our lives

We only need $100.00 more to make the $1,500.00 dollar mark, then I will not bother you any more.

Every dollar counts

Assoc. Prof. Bronwyn Hemsley (@BronwynHemsley) was just interviewed on ABC Radio National re #SPweek, @wespeechies and the use of Twitter by speech pathologists. She talked about my 24 hour thickened fluids challenge as an example of using social media to share experiences and information amongst our profession and even to a wider audience. Thanks so much Bronwyn – humbling and exciting to hear this being discussed on NATIONAL RADIO. #Talkwithme just got serious! How good is this? #emmasthick

Tomorrow marks the end of a great Speech Pathology Week.

As such, I will close down my donation page tomorrow.

We have raised over $1,300.00 for Operation Smile. Such a wonderful effort for a worthy cause.

Keep the money rolling in – is $1500.00 possible???
