Autism Walkathon 2008


We participated in the Autism Society of Oregon's Annual Autism Walkathon this Sunday for the first time. Our team consisted of our brood: Mike, Cathy, Vanessa, Jack, Josie, Colette & Sassy; Grandmom & Pop, Eileen & Declan, Bern and Shawn. The walk was held at Oaks Park--a very nice setting, but the walk itself was a bit disorganized and chaotic. For a walk held for kids with Autism, the walk started late and all the kids were going crazy waiting around. All-in-all it was for a good cause, but we're hoping next year will be better!

Thank you to all who donated to our cause! Many of the donations were for Jack and in honor of Jack's late Grand-Uncle Ken whose birthday is in April.
