I just received an email from a friend who is participating in Walk Now for
Autism Speaks to help find the missing
pieces of autism. Autism is the second most common developmental
disorder in the United States affecting one in every 88 children born
today. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with
AIDS, diabetes & cancer combined. Research is crucial. Despite
some promising discoveries, the cause of autism is unknown and a cure
does not exist. Their goal is to change the future for all who struggle
with autism spectrum disorders, and soon.
Walk Now for Autism Speaks is their chance to make a difference in the
fight against autism by raising money for autism research and
heightening public awareness. You can also join my friend and her team in their fight as they raise
money to help fund essential research. You can donate to Walk Now for
Autism Speaks and/or join her team online using the links at the bottom
of this
page.
For today's random act of kindness I made a small donation in support of their cause!
