Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.

The reason I am walking is because my young grandson, NoahJay has been diagnosed with severe autism. My daughter tried to find someone who would listen to her and help to get him tested for several years. she was turned away as if it wasn’t important. Well, He is important! finally someone at his school did listen. Noah has since gotten his IEP and getting the help he needs. Perseverance pays off. 

Please join me in my walk for #4Noah by sponsoring me in my walk for Autism.

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. 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.
