Fox Business Network’s John Stossel joined the Stuttering Foundation at their New York gala last Tuesday celebrating National Stuttering Awareness Week.

Stossel, who has fought a stutter his whole life, still battles the speech impediment, utilizing breathing and speaking techniques. At the gala, the ogranization’s president Jane Fraser presented Stossel with the Foundation’s “Converting Awareness into Action” Award.

“John has been a long-time friend of the Foundation and a true champion for people who stutter. He readily admits that stuttering is still a concern for him and shows his courage every evening as he faces the camera,” said Fraser.
