Non-profit of the Month: April 2009 - Autism Speaks

One of my friends is participating in Walk Now For Autism this Saturday. It is a fundraiser for Autism Speaks.

Their mission:
We are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.
1 in 150 kids are diagnosed with some form of autism.

Please consider supporting this group or others like it!
