Both my 7 year old son and my 18 year old sister are affected with the spectrum.

Being a eleven year old life isn't always easy. I do flute, piano, and watch my sister. But something happened eight years ago I will never forget.

Grayson was diagnosed with autism in September of 2007 and ever since I've been on a mission to do all that I can for him

My son Erik is 7 years old he is such an amazing child beating all the odds. He is happy and loving I am blessed to be his mother!

My daughter Makenna is 4 years old and was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism/Asperger Syndrome.

Why I walk? Those three little words are the most profound question that has ever been put before me. In it's simplest terms, an easy response comes forth -- I walk for my baby girl, Adriana. She was diagnosed on the spectrum in November, 2006, shortly after her second birthday. Along with my oldest, and only other child, Rebecca, they are the lights of my life.

I will walk to help support Autism research and my grandson, Nate, who has Asbergers Syndrom (high functioning Autism) Wouldn't it be nice to help ALL people with ALL Levels of Autism to be better able to handle their special chanlleges throughout not only their childhoods, but adult life as well. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

I will walk for the two beautiful boys I brought into this world, and for others like them.

Representing the families of JHA affected by Autism Autism is a lifelong neurological disorder that impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. Today, a shocking 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with Autism. Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of the many less prevalent childhood diseases.

We walk for the unconditional love we have for our son Gryffin.

We have been the top fundraising team in New England for the past 5 years. We keep going because even though the landscape of Autism has changed, our Cody has not and this is what we can do so HE makes a difference in this fight!

I am excited about taking part in The Walk Now for Autism Event, and in supporting the Holcomb Family in their efforts to raise awareness and support for Autism research and for their Son, Zion.
