Walk for Autism 2010


Zachary decided to spend his birthday weekend doing the Walk for Autism in honor of Matthew. He spoke to his school a few weeks ago about the importance of supporting this cause and the devastating effects this disorder has on children and their families. He raised over $3300!
We could not be more proud of this special boy!
Thank you to our friends and family who supported him, we appreciate all of you.

Matthew loved being with his cousins. He had a fun day.

As we met several wonderful people and saw children representative of all ends of the spectrum, I was reminded of what I have to be so grateful for and how much hope we have for the future, not only for Matthew but for all the children in our lives affected by autism.
Thank you Zach for doing such a wonderful job and working so hard to make a difference.
You are a wonderful advocate for your cousin and I love you very much.
Happy, Happy Birthday!
