Meet Tanner

Did you know that more children will be diagnosed with Autism this year than with AIDS, Diabetes and Cancer combined!

But less than 1% of the budget of the National Institute of Health is devoted to Autism research. I didn’t know this either.

Meet my sweet little friend Tanner! He was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months. He is non-verbal and has medical issues associated with Autism but today he is healing and starting to say words. Autism Speaks has helped Tanner in finding Doctors and therapists, play groups and support groups for him and his Mom.

He is on a path to recovery and to find a voice, Tanner’s voice. I am joining Tanners team to support him and his family to spread awareness. Please join me, become a sponsor, donate or join his team.

All the money we raise for the Portland walk stays in our local communities in Oregon to help our kids here.

Thank you for your support.
