Detailed info for Team Liam's Lions and the Walk Now for Autism Speaks fundraising event


Just to clarify, we are walking as Team Liam's Lions FOR Autism Speaks. All donations via our Team Liam's Lions/Autism Speaks page go directly to Autism Speaks. This is a wonderful organization that provides support, help, information and research for families like ours.
I would have been utterly lost without organizations like Autism Speaks and TACA -just to name a few- which are incredibly helpful resources. Thanks guys!

Hi all!

Liam is 3, and twins Sam and Daisy are 17 months old.
Our oldest Liam, is on the Spectrum for Autism.
Our participation in Walk Now for Autism Speaks, is just one small part of our family journey through Autism.
You can read more about our journey in this blog:  Adventuresof The Parch Family- Soaring Above the Spectrum, which highlights our highs and lows, challenges and successes and also details our Bio Medical Interventions, Therapies and any other steps we are taking in our fight to give Liam the best possible outcome in life.
Please join us, and show your support to Team Liam's Lions and Autism Speaks!
You can participate by joining our team and walking with us, AND/OR making a donation directly to Autism Speaks via our Team Liam's Lions donation page on the Autism Speaks website.
You can also help by collecting donations from your friends and family to contribute to this cause!
Organizations like Autism Speaks are so important to families like ours for support, information and research.

I am participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks to help find the missing pieces of autism. Autism is the second most common developmental disorder in the United States affecting one in every 50 children born today. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes & cancer combined.  Research is crucial.  Despite some promising discoveries, the cause of autism is unknown and a cure does not exist.  Our goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders, and soon.
Walk Now for Autism Speaks is our chance to make a difference in the fight against autism by raising money for autism research and heightening public awareness. Please join me in my fight as I raise money to help fund essential research. You can donate to Walk Now for Autism Speaks and/or join my team online using the links at the bottom of this page. Donations can also be mailed to Autism Speaks using the donation form located on my page or send me a check made out to Autism Speaks.

Thank you for taking an important step in the fight against autism.
