Norwich, NY
2nd Annual Autism Awareness Walk
Little Joshua, Robert, Caleb, and Christina lead the walk
as it begins from the Norwich High School
As the walk begins Caleb and Joshua's proud Grandma
displays her sign alongside the boy's aunt Linda
Turning the corner and making their way up Hale Street in the city it's on to the Park!
Caleb and Joshua join in the walk. Both boys battle with autism, an epidemic that once was diagnosed in only 1 in 10,000 children in America, but now has risen to 1 in 110! Every 20 minutes in the U.S. a child is diagnosed with autism.
The length of the line seen here is a testament to the many
who walked in support of Autism Awareness. Many of those
who walked also have children diagnosed on the autism spectrum
People from all walks of life and from as far away as the
state of Georgia came to walk in support of Autism Awareness!
