One out of every 150 kids in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. Our son, Jackson, is part of that cruel statistic.

Jackson is a beautiful, 7-year-old boy with a wonderful sense of humor. He has made great strides in the last year. He learned how to ride a bike. He moved up in school. He is reading and enjoys math. And he lost his two front teeth!

He also has many challenges. He doesn't know how to make friends -- or even what it means to have a friend. He doesn't know how to interact with people. He has trouble coping in unfamiliar situations.

These are all things we're working on. And while we're concentrating on Jackson, Autism Speaks is making sure kids like him have a voice.

That's why we're walking.

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support-- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
