You are invited: Watch my Autism Speaks video message

Please join me in my fight to make a difference in the lives of the more than 1 million Americans living with autism today.

I am participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks to help change the future for all those affected by autism, including my 17 year old son, Sean who has PDD-NOS, an autistic spectrum disorder.

Autism is the second most common developmental disorder in the United States affecting one in every 110 children born today. Despite some promising discoveries, the cause of autism is unknown and a cure does not exist. Research is crucial. Every 15 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 Speaks 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 money to help fund essential research.

I know many organizations are asking for your help right now, particularly with the current situation in Japan. I understand and I'm giving to the Red Cross too. If you could donate something to sponsor me for the walk, I would greatly appreciate it. Autism affects my family 24/7 and I want to see a brighter future for people like my son Sean.

You can donate to Walk Now for Autism Speaks and/or join my team online using the link. 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.

Thank you for taking an important step in the fight against autism.
