Our family recently accepted the challenge of walking in the 2nd Annual Walk for Autism Research and with the help of some friends, we have formed the Willowjak Team. The Walk is the signature fundraising event of Autism Speaks (who recently merged with the National Alliance for Autism Research) and is the nation's largest Walk program dedicated to autism research. Since its inception in May 2000 in the U.S., approximately 171,000 people have participated in 65 events have raised over $18.3 million for autism research. Canada held its first walk in Toronto last year and raised over $320,000. Canadian Research initiatives have received close to $3.4 million in grants as a result of the efforts of walkers across the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
We are asking you to help by supporting our fund raising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference. Together we can make a difference by advancing and accelerating autism research. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make your donation online by simply emailing us at info@willowjak.com and we will provide you with directions on how to sponsor us online. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed below.
