My personal message:

 

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!Hi, my name's Joe and I have autism.  I am 18 years old. My Mom and Dad found out I had autism when I was 3. I have made many strides growing up since then. The best thing that happened to me was learning to ride a bike last summer through "Lose the Training Wheels" camp sponsored by The Albany Chapter Autism Society. Riding my bike has given me something fun to do with my family,I love the freedom it gave me!  The Autism  Society has been a great support system for my family. They are like my "second family". Your donations to our 5th Annual Walk and 5K will help continue their work in helping families like us. Please donate today! Every little bit helps! Thanks! If you would like to donate by check, make them payable to "Albany ASA" and mail it to me, You can e-mail my Mom and she can give you our address.

Her email is AnnieG39@aol.com. By the way, my Mom is a great advocate for me, she has 3 tattoos that represent autism and me! Please sponsor us....even $1 helps! My Mom also helps other kids like me. She is a Teaching Assistant at Crossroads! I love my Mom and Dad very much!

Thank you!

Joe
