Autism walk at Heinz Field

So the annual Autism walk is about 2 months away. I haven't been able to participate for the past 2 years because I've had weddings to attend each summer on the same date. Since I work with kids with Autism the walk has a special meaning for me. But it really is a great event that everybody should consider participating in. It's down at Heinz field on June 7th, I know its 2 months away....but its never to early to start fundraising. I'm on a team with one of the families I work with, both of their children have autism. They have a big family, so its a lot of fun when everybody gets together for a great cause. The statistics are crazy with rising rates of autism, we need to help find a cure. I'm not trying to preach, just trying to get awareness out there. I'm sure there are some students in the PE major who are effected by Autism in some way.

Here's hoping for good weather.
