@thedrewlynch: I am a person who stutters. I used to think that because I didn’t grow up that way, that at age 20, it meant something was taken from me. Turns out it gave me something much more meaningful… perspective. Working with these kids at this organization has given me the opportunity to see their perseverance up close. These kids don’t show up and hide their voices. They commit to expanding them. And that kind of resilience doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like patience for themselves. Sometimes it looks like grace for others. SAY creates a space where people who stutter don’t feel like they have to rush, or accommodate, or be anything other than who they are. For a lot of them, it’s the first place they’ve ever felt safe. And that matters more than I can put into words… So today I say: Give others the space to be heard. Love fiercely. Accept blindly. And if you want to be part of something that’s bringing this initiative every single day, support SAY in any way you can. Make movement by being still. Love you all.
Much respect, you may not see it but the world is a better place with you in it.

Drew, I am one of the "emo" kids from high school. I performed in the pit when you were one of the leads for the musical. I am so proud of the person you grew to be. Watching your comedy over the years has been heartwarming and healing. I am so sorry for the future that your accident took from you. We all knew that we'd be seeing you on some kind of screen (TV screen, movie screen). The kind of school we went to, many of us had talent, but you were one of the special ones we were sure would make it in the business. And we were right. Not even a life-altering accident could keep you down and off the stage. Your hard work and humility is evident in everything that I've seen. I hope you forgive yourself for the person you were. It really does matter more who you are today and the work you do now. When we know better we do better. Again, I am so proud of you. Congratulations!
