To Whom It May Concern,
Food Lion is hosting a fundraiser for the Team Aruba, an IHRA pro stock drag race team, Walk Now for Autism walk team on May 16, 2009 at the National Guard Armory in
We raised over $2600 last year with our first silent auction and hope to increase this amount and the number of those involved with each passing year. We cannot give up the fight to find the missing piece to the puzzle. Why? Because our six year old son Kyle has Autism, is not yet verbal, potty trained or on his right developmental level. And we will not stop until we find Kyle’s missing piece to his puzzle. Remember pennies add up to dollars and small donations add up to large strides in finding a cure for Autism.
Thank you very much for your time, efforts and having a heart to help such a noble cause. Please contact me with any questions or to find out how to become more involved.
Sincerely,
Gator. Betsy & Kyle

"Find the missing piece to his puzzle???" How about curing FRAGILE X!? That would be a good start...
Point your anger somewhere else! We are doing what we feel lead to do and are raising more awareness for autism awareness. We help our way you do whatever you want. I'm not a doctor and can't cure Fragile X but I surely will not stop until we find what the missing piece to our son's puzzle is. We've raised awareness in two other countries on our own...what have you done lately!
Alright, maybe I should have left out the exclamation point. Not angry, just confused...I think it's great you're raising awareness...it just seems like Fragile X could use your help...guarantee more people already know about autism than FX.
And I really didn't mean you, personally, curing FX.
Sorry, but I get really testy when it comes to our son. When I do speak to others I always say he has autism and Fragile X and explain them both. Right now we're not going to a big response to the Fragile X but that doesn't mean that we won't later on but Autism Speaks is funding genetic research and when I toured the Autism Research Facility at UNC in Chapel Hill, I had the ears of leading genetics researchers and the head physician for Autism Speaks and you better believe I spoke up, asked questions and put my two cents in regarding FXS and Autism!
