Today I would like to draw attention to an upcoming special event in our community. On Sunday, June 26th will be the 7th annual Toronto Walk for Autism Speaks!! The day's events will begin at Nathan Phillips Square at 8:30am and the 3km walk begins at 10:00am. There is still plenty of time to register a new team or join one already in place. Here is a link to all the details:

Our family has participated in this in the past and it was a very positive experience. The walk raises both money and awareness so that autism research can continue to be funded, and that is so important to us all. On a personal level, nothing warms my heart more than being part of a huge community coming together for a shared common purpose. The energy is electrifying!
My daughter was still in kindergarten when she attended her first walk. I still remember her face lighting up and asking "are all these people here helping my brother get better?" So sweet! And then she wanted to wear my event t-shirt even though it was several sizes too big! She did the entire walk and was so proud to be there-even though it was raining! Here is a picture of her wearing the t-shirt...so cute!
There will also be a resource centre at the event, so it will be a great opportunity to connect with agencies as well as other families.
Hope you are able to come out!
Cheers,
Linda
