OT--Autism Walk: 1 in 166 children have Autism

[Guest guest]

As some of you know, our daughter has Autism. Currently, 1 in 166

children are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. According to a May

2006 Time Magazine article, three times has many children are

diagnosis with an Autism Spectrum Disorder as Juvenile Diabetes, yet

Autism gets 1/5 of the research funding. I passionately believe we

need to address this situation, both for our daughter Veronika and the

millions of children and adults world wide who have this disorder.

 

On Oct. 15th there will be a world wide walk to raise Autism Awareness

and scholarship funds for people to go the the Autism Treatment Center

of America. We were at the treatment center last month and are very

excited by their program. We met people for 23 states and 10

countries. As I said this walk is world wide: UK, China, Australia,

etc. and of course the US: Coast to coast.

 

To register to walk or give a secure donation online, just go to:

http://www.walkaroundtheworld.org/ All donations are tax deductible.

Please find a team to join or support with a donation! I am the team

leader for Gettysburg, PA. While the website indicates that this is a

10K Walk, we have opted to make it a 5K Walk to avoid interfering with

tourism and to make the walk more accessible to as many people as

possible. After joining a team, walkers will need to let your team

leader know what t-shirt size that you prefer(WAW only has Large and

Extra Large available for order). Depending on when walkers originally

sign up to walk, t-shirts may or may not be here in time for the walk,

but everyone will get a t-shirt eventually.

 

Please forward this email! Thank you for your time and consideration!

Peace be with you!---Nicole
