World Autism Day - Further Information


Dear Parents, after announcing that McGaugh would be observing World Autism Day, I received this letter. Mrs. Maddux was kind enough to allow me to share it with you so that you would all have access to the links below, which she has found very helpful. Remember; wear blue on Friday instead of our regular red! Daryle Palmer

Thank you for this.  My nephew is autistic and I am one of his primary caregivers thereby I have a very special interest in autism awareness.  I have 3 links that maybe of interest,

the first is a group that has given my family support in out fight for James  http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/index.php

another  is a charity run that I signed up for before they signed on to support TACA, a  great way of raising money for autism awareness  and have fun at the same time http://www.gladiatorrocknrun.com/what.html

finally there is autism speaks, they are a great resource for motivation as well as being key in bringing this important cause to the fore front of attention in their "light it up blue" cause  http://www.facebook.com/autismspeaks

Thank you again for your attention to this important cause.

Sincerely,

Renee Maddux
