Walk for Autism

May 3rd was the first annual "Walk Now for Autism" held here in the Salt Lake valley, and is North America's largest grassroots autism walk program. This years event had over 3,500 participants and over 300 walking teams! The program itself raised over $300,000 and the number is still rising! The money received will be used to help solve the Autism puzzle.

As you know, our little Ashton was diagnosed with a mild Autistic spectrum disorder this past fall. As already mentioned in previous posts, Ashton is doing wonderfully! I joined Ashton's awesome walking team in support of my marvelous boy!

Utah's Autism rate ranks third in the state.

1 in 150 children have Autism.
