info on the Autism walk i'm doing sunday April 25th

I am just posting this blog in an attempt to help try and raise some money for Autism. My friend Brenda's son as you'll see below has Autism. I am joining the walk for Autism just as i did last year. As many of you know i will do what i can to help my friends. There is absolutely nothing in it for me, in fact my friend doesn't even know I am doing this. Just a little something i wanted to do to show my support, and in hopes to get even just one donation. i know that times are tough but any little bit helps. thank you for taking the time to read this. :) Below is the email i received:

Help us battle Autism!!



As friends of Jonathan and the Medeiros-Picozzi families, you have been generous in the past years and we are hopeful that you will be able to be so once again this year to help us continue to fundraising and info-raising for this pervasive disorder. Autism affects 1 in 110 children.
Fewer dollars are coming in from Federal and a State sources, so this is our small way in which we can help the Autism Project of RI. There are a few ways in which you can help the cause:



The Medeiros-Picozzi Family is holding our 2nd Annual Spaghetti and Meatball dinner on Sunday
April 18th starting at 1pm in Warwick, RI at the Prata Bar and Grille. Tickets are $25.00 and all
proceeds from the dinner and raffles will go directly to the Autism Project of RI. You can contact
Brenda (brendamedeiros@cox.net) or Russell (russell_picozzi@Brown.edu) for tickets and
information.



If you cannot attend the dinner and would still like to donate, you can go to the following secure
website http://www.firstgiving.com/brendamedeiros1 and make your donation there. Also, we
would be pleased to accept cash or check (made out to the Autism Project of RI). All gifts
made to the Autism Project of RI stay in RI to help those afflicted with autism.



On Sunday April 25, 2010 at 10am the 8th Annual Imagine Walk and Family Fun day for
Autism (http://www.theautismproject.org/events_imagine.php) will take place, if you would like
to join us for the Walk at Goddard Park, please let Brenda or Russell know


April is Autism Awareness Month

here is my friend Brenda's son on the left that I am doing this walk for.



thank you in advance for your generosity and for supporting our family, Jonathan and others who are affected by Autism.


Again thank you for taking the time to read this...........scott
