Walking NOW (again) for Autism


I am participating again in the Georgia Walk for Autism in April to support Autism Speaks and help fund research and find a cure for autism. As most of you know, I have been inspired to walk by my friend Tina and her family. Tina's son, Myles, lives with Autism and they are such an inspiration. They started Myles-A-Part last year to help other families living with autism and have made such an impact on those around her.

Please help me celebrate Tina and help the many families just like theirs.

Autism is the second most common developmental disorder in the United States affecting one in every 150 children born today. Despite some promising discoveries, the cause of autism is unknown and a cure does not exist. Research is crucial. Every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism. Not only must we find ways to improve the quality of life for children and adults with autism, but we also must find a cure, and soon.

Walk Now for Autism is our chance to make a difference in the fight against autism by raising money for autism research and heightening public awareness. Please join me in my goal of raising $1000. You can donate to Walk Now for Autism and join my team online through my webpage at www.walknowforautism.org. Donations can also be mailed to Autism Speaks using the donation form located on my page or send me a check made out to Autism Speaks. My team name is Myles-A-Part; please note this on your check and the donation form.

Any help you can give will be truly appreciated and valued by the families and children supported by Autism Speaks.

Thanks for your support!
Rachel
