Wordless Wednesday #2: Superhero

Walk Now for Autism Speaks Event Saturday April 20

This is my family's third time walking for this event. We had a lot of fun connecting with the family and getting to know the various organizations that were represented. Last year the event was moved from Al Lopez Park to Raymond James stadium. There were thousands of people gathering together in colorful shirts displaying who they were walking for. So many people know at least one person living with Autism. Year after year our group has grown to more and more supporters. 

I love my nephew Aidric. He is really something special, and I want to be one of the people that brings the best out of him. This is why I want to want to focus my Master's degree on learning about Autism and other disabilities affecting our children.

I am thankful for everyone who has given so far. And we can still give more. If you want to give. you can do it Online Here (for donations of $20 or more), or you can fill out the offline form and mail a donation of less than $20.

Autism Speaks: For Aidric

This is my family (minus my brother), and this is his son, my nephew Aidric. I am raising money for Autism Speaks to help kids like my nephew that have to deal with this disorder, and I am raising money for the families that walk alongside, like my nephew's grandparents. We get to spend time with him at least once a week, so I can't imagine how someone can feel trying to understand how he feels every day. We are learning so much about autism, and there is so much more to learn.

I know it may be odd to be asking strangers for donations, but anything you give will help with treatments and research.
