Two years ago, our daughter India was diagnosed with PDD-NOS – an Autism Spectrum Disorder. After two years of intense therapy and lots of support from organizations dedicated to families of children with Autism, India still has some trouble with speech and language but no longer presents with the symptoms associated with Autism. Please help me give other children the same opportunity by supporting me as I walk with Team 352X in this year’s Autism Speaks Walk Now for Autism fund-raising event.

Walk Now for Autism is the signature fundraising event of Autism Speaks and is the nation’s largest Walk program dedicated to autism research. Since its inception in May 2000 we have collectively raised tens of millions of dollars to fund autism reasearch. We have come far in that time, but so much remains to be done.

I am asking you to help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a donation of any amount, from $5 to $500, or more!

Your tax-deductible gift WILL make a difference. Together we can make a difference by advancing and accelerating autism research. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause – you can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. More information on Autism Speaks, its programs and autism in general can be found at their website: www.autismspeaks.org.

Remember, any amount, great or small, helps. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
