PPAOS

After nearly a year of trying to find what was wrong with Tim’s speech, they were referred to Mayo Clinic. On June 21, 2021 within 40 minutes, Tim was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech.  It is very rare—one in a million.  But Tim has not let this disease stop him, he’s done three podcasts, one interview and in April 2022, he will speak to the world-renowned doctors and researchers at Mayo Clinic.
