Walk Now for Autism Speaks

Mission AZ Ice Midget teams will be participating in the the Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Nov 1, 2009.  We welcome your support for this important cause.  Please join us in our fight to make a difference in the lives of the more than 1 million Americans living with autism today. 
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.
