April 28, 2012. Oswego County residents will gather at the Oswego High School track and walk three miles in an effort to raise awareness on Autism.
From 11-2, the family fun walk will be hosted by the Oswego County Task Force. Activities for the day will include music, face painting, and balloon animals. The mission: To educate people on the disability.
Statistics show that 1 in 88 children are diagonosed with Autism. The spectrum ranges from high functioning to non verbal tendencies, yet each is unique in their own way. This Saturday they will all unite to show the world how beautiful they are.
Agencies and organizations will also be in attendence with information on how they can offer support to families. Tickets for the Brianna Bowl will be for sale, with proceeds going to the Brianna Cahill scholorship, which helps to send an Autistic child to college. I will also be there offering the opportunity for people to sumit stories to the sequel of Sometimes The Wind Blows Sideways: Our Lives with a Special Needs Child.
We are hopingfor a huge turn out this year, so come on our and show your support!
