Dear Friends,

This will be my 12th year participating in the Autism Speaks Walk. This year the LA Walk will take place at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, December 30th.  They need our help now more than ever!

The CDC released its update of autism's estimated prevalence among the nation's children, showing an increase with 1 in 36 children diagnosed with ASD in 2020.  While progress has been made in raising awareness and advocacy for early intervention and diagnosis, the increased prevalence reveals the need for more research funding and services for people in diverse communities where prevalence rates are higher.  

Autism Speaks is committed to creating a more inclusive world for all individuals with autism.

This event is powered by the love of parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives, friends, and supporters, like you!  The funds raised help to ensure that those on the Autism Spectrum have access to the tools needed to lead their "best lives", now and throughout their life span.

Won't you please help me in this effort by supporting my Walk with a donation?  Every little bit helps! Our strength as a community is powered by the dedicated commitment of supporters like you! Your gift will enhance the lives of people on the autism spectrum today, and in the future.

Please click on the "Donate" button to make an online donation - it's easy, fast and safe. Thanks in advance for your kind support!

With heartfelt thanks,

Wendy
