Walk for Autism

Dear Friends and Family,
Autism Speaks is getting ready for its annual signature event on June 8th in Toronto, Walk for Autism Research. I am planning to be a part of that Walk and I am asking you to join me in raising critically-needed funds for autism research by making a contribution in support of my Walk.

Autism is a complex brain disorder that often inhibits a person's ability to communicate, respond to surroundings, or form relationships with others. First identified more than 50 years ago, autism is typically diagnosed by the age of two or three. Autism affects people of all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Few disorders are as devastating to a child and his or her family.While some people with autism are mildly affected, most people with the condition will require life long supervision and care and have significant language impairments. Many children with autism will never be able to tell their parents they love them. Currently, the causes of autism are unknown and there are no specific medical treatments or cure. Physicians have no blood test or scan that can definitively diagnose the disorder. As such, the diagnosis of autism is based solely upon observations of behavior. Despite increasing national interest and high prevalence, autism research is one of the lowest funded areas of medical research by both public and private sources. Whatever you can give will help! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Sincerely,
Steph and Ian Kalau
