Raising Autism Awareness

Raising awareness of Autism is extremely important. I want to use this blog post to brag on a  mom from my hometown that has made it her mission to help her son and others with Autism find their voice. She has currently organized two walks to raise Autism awareness in our community. In 2011, 600 people walked. In 2012, nearly 3100 participated in the walk. The goal of the groups fundraising was to raise enough money to buy 11 iPads for  the public school speech therapists. Such great support came that 36 iPads were purchased for school use! This woman is a great inspiration to all. The passion she has to help her son and others is amazing! The video below tells the story of her son and family. Enjoy!
