2009 Greater Austin Walk Now for Autism Speaks


We have been planning for months, and yesterday was the big day - our Walk! The weather didn't cooperate, for the 2nd year in a row, but we made best of it, and we had a great time while raising funds and awareness for Autism. It is such an amazing feeling to be at one of these events - the fellowship, the hope, the feeling of thousands of people there for your kid - it is really quite overwhelming at times. I am really proud of my fellow committee members for working so hard and pulling together a successful event, even in the face of a chilly, rainy day. The band played on, the resource fair rocked, the walk went on, even in the rain. Everyone who came out, in spite of the weather - what troopers!

Since the rain prevented us from doing the walk as a family, we all went out in the neighborhood in the afternoon to do our own walk, still in our team StimBusters shirts, of course.
