Walk F.A.R. NAAR: for autism research

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My family is planning to attend (June 4th, 9:30 a.m., Hillsboro, OR). It's

to raise money for autism research, plus it's a fun event. I signed up

yesterday at www.naar.org. The video is really worth watching--it's a tear

jerker. There are walks all over the country, if you're not in Portland and

want to find one near you. It was started by fellow parents 10 years ago.

Best regards,

Cate

Moonbounces attract laughing children, teams of people in unique colorful

custom designed t-shirts and more than 2000 pairs of tennis shoes will take

over Washington County, Hillsboro Stadium in support of autism research on

Saturday, June 4, 2005 as family and friends gather for the first annual;

Walk F.A.R. for NAAR event!
