Hi Family and Friends! Thanks for visiting! Erich and I, have been volunteering for LA Ride for Autism now for 4 years. Our son Ej was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4 1/2 years old. Ej is a wonderful, smart, loving and funny little guy. He is always happy, and he's always trying to make you laugh. Ej is doing very well in school, and he is really communicating well. He loves the Lakers and loves to shoot hoops! Just like many kids, he dreams of shooting hoops with Kobe someday! He wants to play with the Lakers, I told him that maybe someday he could. You never know.... Kids with Autism are amazing and surprise us every day. It's important to treat them just like the "Average" child, and let them know that their dreams can be acheived. They might have to reach a little further than the "Average" kid, But THEY CAN DO IT!
Please help by donating to my fundraiser, it will help those who are touched by Autism, and their families that are in our community. You can give $1, $5 to $100. Please donate whatever amount you can, large or small. Your donation is greatly appreciated! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those touched by Autism. Thank you for your Generosity!
