The Autism Walk

Way back in like July, I mentioned on facebook about doing the autism walk. I had a HUGE response of people who commented that they would LOVE to do it with me. I got really excited, signed up to make a team and the watched as the whole plan started to fizzle. In the end I had one team member who came to the walk (my sister) and together we raised $320 (she raised $300 of it).  When I finally created the team and people were no longer interested, I no longer became interested either and became a bad team leader. The walk was on my birthday and the day was freezing cold but my sister and I bundled up and headed to the Rio Tinto stadium. They had some great informational booths and lots of activities. It's really a family event and I'm happy to know that. When If I do it again, I will bring the whole family. After, my sister took me out to breakfast. It was my 36th birthday after all! And it really was the beginning of a great day!
