Autism Walk Historic Gettysburg: Sign Up Now

[Guest guest]

We have received confirmation that Gettysburg Times (and possibly

other papers) will have a photographer at the Autism Walk in

Gettysburg [just minutes from the Maryland border] on the morning

Saturday, August 25th. They ran a story on the up coming walk that

included mentioning the lack of insurance coverage for Autism

therapies. Now, our goal is to get enough walkers to have a prominent

placement in the paper to really create momentum for Autism awareness.

It is our hope to have a sea of red Autism T-shirts in the circle of

down town historic Gettysburg. FYI: If it is on the front page of

the Gettysburg Times, it will likely be seen by many legislators [both

local and national], sending the message that Autism families demand

respect. Even if you don't have a child with Autism, your support is

appreciated. We need public officials to know that we are many and we

are strong.

 

Frank will be placing an order for t-shirts, so we need to know sizes

by August 15. For more information about the walk or sign-up to

participate, call Frank Seidel at 301-846-2589 or e-mail:
