Walk Now For Autism
I’m very happy to hear that Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now have combined efforts this year, and together they are organizing the Walk Now For Autism event! If you haven’t been to one of these before, I highly recommend it. You will be amazed at how many resources are available in your area that you never knew about.
I have created a “team” and will be fundraising for the Minneapolis walk. My goal is $200 from this site, and all proceeds of any kind will go towards the fundraiser. If you can’t make it to the event, but you’d like to donate, please CLICK HERE. We’ll be doing some fundraising in the next few weeks to try and earn our worth, haha.
Seriously, if you are a parent of a newly diagnosed child, don’t miss this event. Your pediatricians only know so much, and chances are.. they don’t know about half of the resources that are available to you. They are holding them throughout the US, check the schedule to see when it will be held in your area. If any of you plan on going, I’d love to meet you! Please contact me via email, and we’ll try to hook up before the walk.
For additional information, here is the official letter template that they gave me, which outlines why the walk is so important.
