This fundraiser is very special to me because it is close to home. My granddaughter Addison is a bright, beautiful 6yr old who has Autism. She is non-verbal. She is enrolled in a school for Autistic children and she is working with speech and occupational therapists. Organizations like Autism Speaks make this possible, at no cost to the parents. She recently received a device that can speak for her and she is learning new words every day. 

This little girl has so much support and love from her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. We all just want to see her learn and grow, but more than anything in this world, we want to hear her voice. How about you? Would you like to hear Addie's voice? Please donate to the Autism Speaks Walk today and help bring us one step closer to making that happen. 

Thank you,

Deana
