Heartfelt thanks, from both Tara McKnight and Madison Schleder, to all of our friends and family who have accompanied us & celebrated with us on our complicated journey. When Madison was born in 1987...Autism affected approximately 1 in 10,000 children. Today, the odds are a staggering 1 in 150.
When we heard about this walk, we agreed that it would be a perfect opportunity to help those who are not lucky enough to have a strong circle of support, as well as those with more serious issues. Our family is so blessed...we want to pass it on.
The Elias Tembenis Walk for Autism is a journey across America to benefit families struggling to pay for autism therapy and medical services. Two friends of the Tembenis Family, Robert Williams and Bobby Genese, both of Worcester, MA, will begin their walk in May 2008. The walk will start on Route 50 in San Francisco and end on the Discovery Trail in Washington, DC. The estimated time of completion for the 3,000 walk is 10 to 12 months.
Please support the National Autism Association and join us in making a small tax-deductible donation today. Together we WILL make a difference and help make the lives affected by autism a little bit easier.
