Thank you for your interest in the Autism Speaks Social Network.
Let your friends and family know about your walk efforts. E-mail, postal, mail and phone calls are all great ways to reach out to your loved ones. Use the internet to spread awareness ? share a link to your Walk page on your Facebook or Twitter page. You may also add a special awareness widget from the Ad Council (http://www.adcoundcil.org/icare/) to your social networking sites! Let us know of any family, school, organization or business that might be interested in supporting or participating in the Walk. We need to expand autism awareness and recruit new teams in the surrounding communities. We will be sure to follow up and provide information about the Walk and how they can become involved!
