Thank you for coming to my Walk page!

I chose autism for my Bar Mitzvah and school volunteer project because my little cousin Gabe, who was born 3-months early, was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old.  I am inspired by Gabe because he was born at 1 pound, 9 ounces needing many medical interventions.  Now, he is a happy and smart 3-year-old little guy who has made so much progress with his speech.  Every time I see him, he has mastered a new word or phrase.

Here are two facts I learned as part of my research to make this event happen:

1. An estimated 40 percent of people with autism are non-verbal
2. Autism spectrum disorder now affects 1 in every 68 children

Please join my team for the autism walk or donate directly through my page to raise awareness and support for kids like Gabe! Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
