After every home game, Bryan Rust meets with young people through @FriendsStutter, offering support, sharing his story, and building community. His impact has reached beyond Pittsburgh, inspiring others, like @AnaheimDucks' Leo Carlsson, to do the same. pens.pe/3FHtfFV

For the past two years, Rusty’s words made an impact on Cameron, teaching him to embrace his confidence. This year, Cam wanted to share how much those words changed him. “Thank you for pushing me to being confident and sharing that nothing can stop me” Thank you, Rusty! 🖤💛

We’re giving away a ✨Habit guitar ✨ !!! Our friends at @BilTGuitars made a very unique guitar with a Habit inside of it, and we’re going to give that away to raise some money for @FriendsStutter! @FriendsStutter is an organization providing resources and assistance to young people who stutter. It’s a very important organization to me and I want to do my part to keep it strong now that its founder, Lee Caggiano, has sadly passed on. So here’s how you can support AND enter the Habit guitar raffle: 1.) We recommend donating to friendswhostutter.org/ 2.) Email [email protected] with proof of donation OR write a short note on how you can be an ally to those who stutter (check out friendswhostutter.org for ideas). That’s it. Anyone in the world can participate. We’ll keep a spreadsheet of everyone who enters, randomly select a winner, and reach out to the winner via their email after the giveaway ends (April 3rd 11:59pm CT). Other details: No purchase necessary for entry. No multiple entries allowed. If you get a message from some account other than this one about the giveaway, it is spam. Do not give out your credit card information. This giveaway is in no way affiliated, administered, or sponsored by X.

My speech therapist introduced me to the @StutterFRIENDS convention. I was introduced to hundreds of people who stuttered. Kids younger than me, teens older than me, adults, seniors. All from different parts of the country. All stuttered. Like me.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Rabinowitz in 2010 at my first ever @StutterFRIENDS Convention in Chicago. The man was a true inspiration, and all of his work will forever be recognized. RIP 🙏🏼

Happy National Stuttering Awareness Week! (NSAW - May 7th – May 13th). What do you wish people knew about #stuttering?
Congratulations to our @KentSpPathAud and @KentStateEHHS students, led by the intrepid junior, Tatum Sheets, on a successful @StutterFRIENDS one-day conference hosted at Kent State! You are making a difference for people who stutter.
