Why we walk: Autism now affects 1 out of every 93 children born. Proceeds from this event will go toward the development of a Residential Community to provide for the care, training and activities that will be necessary for those living with Autism. Our Residential Project is based on the successful Bittersweet Farm model.
Our Residential Project Mission: To provide residential, employment, activities and general life supports for persons 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."
