A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL AUTISM ASSOCIATION

All of us at the National Autism Association would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to our Founder, Joanne Pike, and her family. This week, Jo was diagnosed with stage IV cancer.

Jo is a wife and mother of four children. Her youngest son, Hunter, became the inspiration for Jo s advocacy work after he was diagnosed with autism. She founded NAA in 2003 based on extraordinary hope for Hunter and all those affected by autism. Since that time, thousands of families in the autism community have received financial assistance, support, helpful information, and most of all the encouragement to never give up on finding answers for their children. Her strength, faith and ambition have made NAA one of the largest autism nonprofits in the country today and a leader in advocating for children s rights, resources, research, therapy and treatments. It s this same extraordinary strength, faith and ambition we believe will help Jo win her battle against cancer.

We ask for your support, prayers, and well wishes for Jo. Please pray for her swift and strong recovery and add her to your prayer groups and lists.

If anyone can beat this, it s Jo.

With the hope NAA was founded upon,

The NAA Team

 

Think Autism.
