Today's great weather made today even more special! The hundreds of faces of families and friends were smiling and laughing all morning! Hugs here and high fives there as friends from different teams found each other. The spirit was strong from everyone and the purpose was clear - bonding together in the fight to raise awareness and bring help to those with Autism!

We want to personally thank all of the individuals who worked so hard on today's event. Everything was so well run and set up. It was family friendly and there was so much for the kids to do! It was an incredible walk and we're proud to have been a part of it! Locally we want to acknowledge Susan Maxwell from Premier Realty Group. Susan has spent a lot of time on this and has hopes of bringing a walk to the Treasure Coast next year.

We also want to send some special thanks to those that were able to make it down to the walk with us and support our son Sam and our family. Your friendships have been so important to his growth and achievement this year. You're the best! We know there were many others who wanted to come with us but due to illness, schedules and more, they were there in spirit.

Thank you to the following businesses that sponsored and/or walked with us: Cost Cutters Hair Salons, National Property Inspectors, Vital Chiropractic, and Brenda Ammon from YTB Travel.

If you or someone you knows still wants to donate to the fundraising efforts for the walk you can go to www.autismspeaks.org/palmbeach and search for Sam's Sunshine Steppers! We appreciate all of your help and prayers!
