Maleah's Au-some Adventure

Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. 

Maleah is part of that number, after receiving her autism diagnosis in January 2023.  Since then, we have been very active in many ways - therapy/clinics, a new community of friends and now the Autism Speaks organization.

Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Maleah will be the face of her team, Maleah's Au-some Adventure.  She will be designing t-shirts for all that choose to walk with us and/or just want to purchase a t-shirt.  We will be organizing kid-friendly fundraisers to raise money for the team/organization and on October 22nd, we will be participating in the Autism Speaks walk in Wheaton. 

We invite anyone to join us on the walk day!  We also encourage additional forms of support whether that be moral support, a donation or just a share to bring awareness. No form of support is too little and we appreciate it all, especially Maleah!
