The objective of the Aphasia Warrior Dash to bring about awareness of aphasia — the communication disorder that affects more than 2 million people in North America. The race is set for the entire month of June, which is Aphasia Awareness Month. UMAP also continues to raise funds to increase both access to resources and develop awareness efforts. That includes resources such as mental health support for people with aphasia and campaigning to help people understand this common-yet-invisible disorder.
