An Open Note From Michael
Lyzwa:
Dear Brother Knights,
I am participating in Walk Now for Autism to help find a cure for
autism. My son Patrick has a form of Autism. Autism is the second most
common developmental disorder in the United States affecting one in
every 150 children born today. Despite some promising discoveries, the
cause of autism is unknown and a cure does not exist. Research is
crucial. Every 20 minutes another child is diagnosed with autism. Not
only must we find ways to improve the quality of life for children and
adults with autism, but we also must find a cure, and soon.
Walk Now for Autism is our chance to make a difference in the fight
against autism by raising money for autism research and heightening
public awareness. Please join me in my fight as I raise $ 500 to help
fund essential research. I will be walking on September 27th, 2008 at
M.C.C. and would like you to support those affected by autism. You can
donate to Walk Now for Autism and join my team online through my webpage
at
www.walknowforautism.org. Donations can also be mailed to Autism
Speaks using the donation form located on my page or send me a check
made out to Autism Speaks. My team name is Brothers United; please note
this on your check and the donation form.
Please join me in my fight against autism. Thank you for making a
difference in the lives of the more than 1 million Americans living with
autism today.
Sincerely,
Michael Lyzwa
