Autism Awareness Walk

As the walk continues up Hale Street in the city, Caleb and Joshua's proud Grandma carries her sign displaying their pictures as "The Face of Autism". It's on to the Park!

The walk continues down South Broad Street in Norwich to the center of the city. At right Caleb and Joshua's sister and cousins proudly carry their signs in support of autism.

Christina and Robert Hendrickson, parents of Caleb and Joshua, lead the speakers at the rally and relate their struggles with autism, while extending a hand to help others in understanding and dealing with this affliction that now is diagnosed in 1 in every 100 children. Joining them is Michael Raphael (far right), an adult autistic who relates his experiences in helping parents understand what their children are going through.

** Caleb's Eyes would like to thank Frontier Communications and all its wonderful employees; Price Chopper of Norwich; NAPA of Norwich; and all those who gave to help make this Autism Awareness Walk possible! Thank you to all those who participated, and a special thank you to Mayor Joseph Maiurano for taking the time out of his busy schedule to lead the walk!
