Dear John,

It's nice to meet you, I'm J-Jaye and I'm a member of the Autism Response Team. I'm also a mother of a teen with autism and have been a proud participant of the Autism Speaks Walk program in both Atlanta and NYC for the last 14 years! Our Walk team in Atlanta is made up of local friends, therapists, and teachers who know and support my son, Jackson, while our extended family and close friends in NYC created an additional team to support Jackson in spirit. This dedication has made us a top team in both cities for years.

I know firsthand the powerful results of your fundraising dollars. As part of the Autism Response Team we respond to tens of thousands of questions from autistic people, their families and members of the autism community. Because of generous folks like you, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team is here to connect people to information and resources so that all people with autism can reach their full potential.

I want to personally invite you to sign up for the Autism Speaks Washington, DC Walk. I also encourage you to check out upcoming TeamUp events that include the world's most popular races (from 5Ks to marathons), cycling adventures, and more. Your participation enhances lives today and accelerates solutions for the future. We could not do it without you.

REGISTER TODAY!

With gratitude,
J-Jaye Hurley
Associate, Autism Response Team
