A Message from Michael:​

We walk for Leo! ❤

Just in the last year, we have learned so, so much about autism, but we still have so much more to learn. To finally have some answers and to learn how we can help our lil man cope with the things going on inside of him, means so much to me and our family. As we continue to learn and grow, and to help Leo face his day-to-day challenges, emotions, internal battels, and pains, we ask that you please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

If you are able to, please make a donation. We did this walk last year and it was a blast for all involved. We look forward to another year of meeting other families, networking with local resources, and learning so much more.

Thanks,

Michael Pappa Jr.
