As some of you know, our daughter has Autism. Currently, 1 in 166
children are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. According to a May
2006 Time Magazine article, three times has many children are
diagnosis with an Autism Spectrum Disorder as Juvenile Diabetes, yet
Autism gets 1/5 of the research funding. I passionately believe we
need to address this situation, both for our daughter Veronika and the
millions of children and adults world wide who have this disorder.

On Oct. 15th there will be a world wide walk to raise Autism Awareness
and scholarship funds for people to go the the Autism Treatment Center
of America. We were at the treatment center last month and are very
excited by their program. We met people for 23 states and 10
countries. As I said this walk is world wide: UK, China, Australia,
etc. and of course the US: Coast to coast.

To register to walk or give a secure donation online, just go to:
http://www.walkaroundtheworld.org/ All donations are tax deductible.
Please find a team to join or support with a donation! I am the team
leader for Gettysburg, PA. There is a Yahoo email address:
gettysburgwaw@... While the website indicates that this is a 10K
Walk, we have opted to make it a 5K Walk to avoid interfering with
tourism and to make the walk more accessible to as many people as
possible. After joining a team, walkers will need to let your team
leader know what t-shirt size that you prefer(WAW only has Large and
Extra Large available for order).
Depending on when walkers originally sign up to walk, t-shirts may or
may not be here in time for the walk, but everyone will get a t-shirt
eventually.

Please forward this email! Thank you for your time and consideration!
Peace be with you!---Nicole
