Okay guys and girls, I will be participating in a fund raising walk on May 16th benefiting kids who have been diagnosed with Autism and would like some help raising money. Alexi teaches a special needs preschool class and deals with kids with Autism every day and I can tell you that I have a great deal of respect for what she does. If you would like to read about the disorder Wikipedia has a lot of information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism

 

To date there is no known cure for Autism and a growing number of people are affected by it each year.

The graph above is taken from the Wikipedia link and it shows the number (per 1,000 U.S. resident children aged 6–17) of children aged 6–17 who were served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) with a diagnosis of autism, from 1996 through 2007.

*If you don't feel comfortable making a donation through their website I would be happy to send you my paypal address and I can make a donation under your name. I will cover any paypal transaction costs.

 

I haven't received word back from my work if I can have the day off or not, but if I can attend I will bring my camera and take pictures and post them up. If I can't I will make Alexi do it instead.

 

Thank you for your time!
