Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Kami Olmstead is a mom who has started a non for profit organization to raise awareness, raise money, raise hope for parents of autistic kids. This money is not going to researchers but straight to the parents in need. She is going to drive her and her two boys, one with autism and one with aspergers, across the US. She is trying to set up interviews in each state with the media. IF you can help her by getting in contact with your local media, donations or ideas please call her and let her know. The money that she is raising, after the trip, will go directly to families who need help with money for treatments for their kids. I personally know this mom. She has gone through so much trying to get help for her children. She has struggled so hard but is pushing through all of it to help our children as well. She is going to be a strong resource for the autism community in helping our kids get well. So if you can help at all with her Across America for Autism, please do. EVen just talking to others and making them aware that this will be happening can help. Many thanks to all of you. I am going to post a piece of her information down below. Thanks. Tami W Across America for Autism will begin a 10,000 mile cross country awareness drive in August. We are leaving from the Quad Cities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington DC, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, New Orleans, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Our goal as a Non profit 501c3 organization is to raise money to help children and families who live with autism everyday. We hope to raise 5000.00 for this event anything more will be used for medical, dietary, educational and safety needs for children with autism If you are interested in helping please call Kami Olmstead at 1-608-325-4912.
