Autism Speaks Walk

Please join me in my efforts to support Walk Now for Autism Speaks!

Can you imagine hearing the words "your child has autism"? In a split second, life - as you know it - has changed. For a different family every 15 minutes, tomorrow will never be the same.

By participating in this event, you are helping to change the future for all who struggle with autism. By walking, you are getting us one step closer to finding what causes autism, how to prevent and treat it, and ultimately a cure so no family ever hears those words again. Until then, we walk to find answers and raise awareness about the devastating toll that autism has had on families like ours.

I need you to help make tomorrow be about dance lessons, school lunches and first words rather than therapy, doctor appointments and despair. Together, we will find the missing pieces.
We will be walking at:

Liberty Station of Point Loma Ingram Plaza
2640 Historic Decatur Rd
San Deigo, CA 92106
September 10, 2011 From 10:00 am - 1:00 pm


Please feel free to sign up and walk with us! Remember, there is no such thing as too small of a donation!
