Who are we helping?
Today 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Autism affects 4 times more boys than girls.
Almost 1 in 94 boys has autism.
It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans have autism.
Autism is more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDs combined!
Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the US with a 10 - 17% annual growth.
Currently, the US has $90 billion annual costs relating to autism. That is expected to double within the next decade.
Cost of lifelong care can be reduced by 2/3 with early diagnosis and intervention.
Most insurance companies will not pay for therapies for children with autism. Families must pay for these therapies on their own. An intensive program can cost more than $60,000 a year.
Come on guys.. I have sent out 280 request to sponsor us in the walk if everyone donates just $10 we would have raised $2800 !!!! I know we can do it!!!
