Join me in my efforts to support Walk Now for Autism Speaks!

By participating in this event, our hope is that we can spread awareness, promote acceptance, educate, and advocate.

Walk Now for Autism is a 5K, family friendly event. This event is not about the physical miles walked; it is about accelerating the pace and progress of autism research. When I participate in this event, the sense of hope and dertermination is palatable. With this many people gathered around me, I know that we are making progress, that we, by the sheer force of our combined passion, commitment, and numbers will move this field forward to find effective treatments and raise awareness for autism spectrum disorder.

With your participation and support, we can get there even faster.
