Hi, Zahir’s Village and I, Victoria DeWindt will be fundraising and walking for all children and adults diagnosed with autism. Zahir’s Village team is a support system of family,friends and new faces in our community. Together we will support families with autism.

I am walking for my 8 year old son Zahir Israel. Zahir was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) along with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)  after early intervention as a toddler. Together we share love, patience, understanding and acceptance to walk side by side with Zahir and other great super hero with autism. Giving this great opportunity to give back. Showing why we walk.
