Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hi , Regarding your question on money distribution from WALK NOW and CAN, 75% of all funds raised go directly to research, this number is based on the 2003 financial statement audited by Quigley & Miron. My husband is on the WALK NOW Orange County Sponsorship Committee and has worked directly with Alan Burnall, Finance Director of CAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have a question on research. What kind of research? Is it mainly genetic testing? Is there any research for treatments that have proven successful such as ABA, chelation, ..and other biomedical intervention? What about money spent on stem cell research and in particular (embryonic stem cell research). I usually don't throw my support behind any organization that spends money on embryonic stem research. It is against my beliefs. I have no problem with adult stem research though. Is there a way to find out all about that? I tried to look in the CAN website but was not successful in getting answers to my questions. Thanks, Re: Cure Autism Now Walk > Hi , > > Regarding your question on money distribution from WALK NOW and CAN, 75% of > all funds raised go directly to research, this number is based on the 2003 > financial statement audited by Quigley & Miron. > > My husband is on the WALK NOW Orange County Sponsorship Committee and has > worked directly with Alan Burnall, Finance Director of CAN > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 How will we find each other the morning of the walk in Houston? Shouldn't we walk together in show of support for the TX Autism Advocacy Group? Since we will probably be wearing Walk Now t-shirts there won't be space or time to have a personal message printed on them but we could print out a list of our kids' names to pin on our backs illustrating those affected with autism, what do you think? Good idea, bad idea? I've done this in the past at G. Komen Breast Cancer walks and it was effective. I am looking forward to meeting some of you, the members on this group list. > I have a question for you. Can children come? Would it be ok if I pushed my son in a stroller? That is the way I can participate as a walker and I really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 > will have my son with me and probably his blue stroller with us.< Tristan is 50 inches tall, 8 years old and still rides in a stroller at the mall and amusement parks. We do get a lot of stares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Recently, my five year old, 55 pound son and I traveled to San , CA and there are no jet ways that come out and connect to the airplane from the terminal. When we got off the plane we rushed down the steep stairs and when we got to the bottom I bent over and picked him up and carried him about 50 feet into the terminal and we too got some funny looks but the roaring noise from the engines scares him.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just wanted to let everyone know, the Cure Autism Now walk is April 28, 2007 at the Rose Bowl. It is always nice participating and feeling like were not alone while helping the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
