AUTISM RESOURCE CENTER OF CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS

2009 Community Walk for Autism Worcester,  Massachusetts

Mark Burns's Fundraising Page

We have been friends with the Ploofs since 1992 and love Conner and Jack as if they were our own.  The work the entire Ploof family does with Conner is awe inspiring. We are happy to do a small part in helping Conner and others who face the challenges of autism every day. 

We have walked as a family raising money for Conners team since 2004, but this year I am going to "kick it up a notch" and run a Half-Marathon proudly in the name of my friend, Conner Ploof.  I am running the race in Alton, NH on May 9th - 13 days after the walk, and 11 days after my 39th Birthday. 

Please sponsor me generously, have a good laugh at the thought of all 195lbs of me POUNDING out 13 miles, and if you are interested in joining Conner's team the Day of the Walk (April 26th) please let me know.  (cell - 617 877 6777)

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
