Why we walk:  Autism now affects 1 out of every 150 children born. All net proceeds from this event will go toward the development of a farm-based Residential Community to provide for the care that will be necessary when these children reach adulthood. Our Residential Project is based on the successful Bittersweet Farm model.  Bittersweet is one of only a few programs around the country dedicated to adults with autism.  We are working with the staff at Bittersweet in order to replicate the Bittersweet model locally. www.bittersweetfarms.org

Our Residential Project Mission: To provide residential, employment, and general life supports for adults with autism so that they can lead involved and valued lives and achieve their maximum level of functioning and independence.  To provide families with peace of mind, answering the question, "what happens after I'm gone?" with "a happy, full, productive life."
