I know it's early, but I'm deadset on reaching and surpassing my goal this year! It means the world to me, and to all the children that benefit from your help. Last year I made over $1,500, and this year I nearly doubled my goal... so pedal to the metal! Please take the time to click the link and view my page. If you can help- Great-I love you! If you can't, well I will still love you! I will continue to bump this randomly, sorry if you get sick of it... but it's my life, and what I love!

Dear Friends and Family,
Autism Speaks is getting ready for
its annual signature event, Walk for
Autism Research. I am planning to be a part of that Walk and I am
asking you to join me in raising critically-needed funds for autism
research by making a contribution in support of my Walk.

Autism is a complex brain disorder that often inhibits a person's
ability to communicate, respond to surroundings, or form relationships
with others. First identified more than 50 years ago, autism is
typically diagnosed by the age of two or three. Autism affects people
of all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Few disorders are as devastating to a child and his or her family.
While some people with autism are mildly affected, most people with
the condition will require lifelong supervision and care and have
significant language impairments. Many children with autism will never
be able to tell their parents they love them.

Currently, the causes of autism are unknown and there are no specific
medical treatments or cure. Physicians have no blood test or scan that
can definitively diagnose the disorder. As such, the diagnosis of
autism is based solely upon observations of behavior. Despite
increasing national interest and high prevalence, autism research is
one of the lowest funded areas of medical research by both public and
private sources.

Whatever you can give will help! I greatly appreciate your support and
will keep you posted on my progress.

Sincerely,

Heather
