This has been FORUMADMIN APPROVED On May 20th, I will be Walking
in the "Walk Now for Autism Speaks" walk, in Northern NJ, on
behalf of my 11 yo daugther Morgan, who has Autism! Who is
Autism Speaks? Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob
and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Their
longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help
financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism Speaks
has grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy
organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes,
prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing
awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the
needs of individuals with autism and their families. We are
proud of what we've been able to accomplish and look forward to
continued successes in the years ahead. To read more about
Autism Speaks' awareness, fundraising, science, and advocacy
