I recently accepted the challenge of walking in the Autism Speaks' Walk for Autism Research fund-raising event that will be held on Saturday, April 21st at Nova South Eastern University in Davie. Walk for Autism Research is the signature fundraising event of Autism Speaks and is the nation's largest Walk program dedicated to autism research. Since its inception in May 2000 we have collectively raised tens of millions of dollars to fund autism reasearch. We have come far in that time, but so much remains to be done.

I am asking you to help by supporting my fund raising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference. Together we can make a difference by advancing and accelerating autism research. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed below. More information on Autism Speaks, its programs and autism in general can be found at their website: www.autismspeaks.org.

You may already know that my youngest son, Jonathan, was diagnosed with Autism over 7 years ago and he is doing very well primariy because of the support that he has received by the Broward Chapter of the Autism Society. Any amount, great or small, helps.

I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.


Best Regards,
Rich Sierra
