Walk Now for Autism Speaks is an inspirational and impactful opportunity to raise money and awareness to help change the future for all those who struggle with autism. Participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks empowers you to make a difference and provides you with an opportunity to honor someone with autism. Everyone is touched by autism in a different way. Join us and share your personal story as we unite our communities and raise funds to: Fund biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and possible cure for autism; Raise public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families and society; Bring hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder; Bring together the autism community, as one strong voice, to urge the government and private sector to take action.
