Dear Family & Friends,
Logan continues to make miraculous progress because of your tremendous support.  Your listening ears, helping hands, thoughtful prayers, encouraging smiles, and yes, financial support, have made all of the difference in the world.  This past year he has made HUGE gains in all areas.  He is now able to sit through a movie in a movie theatre & has successfully watched fireworks. He has learned to draw a person & write his name.  He is learning to interact with unfamiliar peers & express his needs, wants & feelings.  This summer he has learned how to swim (doggie paddle) & pee standing up (yeah!).  In September he will be entering full-day Kindergarten at Centreville Elementary School.  We are hoping to have him fully included with his typical classmates by November.  I know those of you who see him periodically are amazed by his gains.   We are all amazed and overjoyed at his progress.       
This progress is possible because of Walk for Autism-Virginia.  The Walk provides mini-grants  for children with autism in the Northern Virginia area.  These mini-grants are used to fund many of the therapies we use with Logan including, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Applied Behavioral Analysis.   These therapies can make significant positive changes in these children's lives. Unfortunately, these therapies cost tens of thousands of dollars per year & are not covered by health insurance.  This leaves many families in financial turmoil or children without proper treatment.  
 The money you contribute goes directly to helping children.  Imagine the impact you can have on a child's life and future.   Imagine, if you can, that it was your child....Logan is my child and we cannot express in words the joy we feel about his progress, the hope we feel for his future, and the love we feel for our supportive friends and family.   God Bless you all!
 
We would love to have you join our team, Finding Logan, to walk on Saturday, October 25th at the Prince William County Fairgrounds.  There will be live music, food, a silent auction, resource fair and lots of kids activities!  Please let us know if you'd like to walk with us this year.  Last year, Logan had a team of 18 family/friends there to support him....we'd LOVE to see you there this year! You can get more information and register online at www.walkforautismva.org.  This year, every registered walker will receive a FREE walk for Autism-Virginia T-shirt. 
 
Thank you for visiting  Logan 's Personal Fundraising Page.  Logan and the other children thank you for your gracious support. Please forward this on to all family members, friends, co-workers and acquaintances....maybe autism touches someone in their lives as well.  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 to this worthwhile cause...add it to your Facebook too!
