It's Official:
As of today the Autism Awareness
Walk-a-thon is dissolved.
This is a very emotional day for me. Sad tears, happy tears.
Kinda riding a roller coaster right now with thoughts. But, it was time.
I would like to thank all the businesses that have donated to this cause. All the businesses that have let us hold events at their business. All the people that have supported us through pledge sheets, donation jars, the list goes on.
There are just too many people to thank.
I have met some great families on my journey. Great kiddo's!!
