Raising International Awareness for Dyslexia: Mehrnaz’s Journey


Each Step for Dyslexia

Each Step for Dyslexia

Mehrnaz Cecil grew up in a country where there was no awareness of dyslexia. She faced many difficulties at school including being labeled “stupid.” “No child deserves to experience this, which is why I decided to hike 1866 km from Switzerland to Spain to raise international awareness and funds to help others with dyslexia.”  Support her Steps for Dyslexia. 

“The day I realized I had dyslexia, a question came to mind. How would my life have been different if someone in my youth had recognized my disability? Imagine how much heartbreak, disappointment, and embarrassment it would have saved me and my parents. If only someone in the education system was bothered to make teachers learn about different kinds of learning disabilities, school for me and lots of children in similar situations would have been a happier place.”
