Support Military Autism Families!!

Join us in raising awareness and much needed funds for autistic families in Nova Scotia!!

I started hosting my walks with whatever Navy ship I was on, in order to raise awareness specifically within the military community as a way to let other military families that are also autism families know that they are NOT alone!!   Since my first walk back in 2019, I have hosted walks in Ukraine, the UK, the US, and even Japan!! I've also had a couple of "Home-Port" Halifax walks, usually held virtually with the family, because the boys are limited in the distance they can walk, and how much "people" they can handle. I've been blessed over the last number of years to be able to see some really cool places, and usually wear one of my Walk Your Way shirts, even if just to raise awareness all year long.

This year, the Richards family is excited to get back to our grass roots of the Walk Your Way campaign. We are still going to participate virtually, because Ryder doesn't "mall" very well, and Jay can't walk for too long.   But to add to the mix, Bay got her ASD diagnosis last year, just before the end of the school year, so she's ready to go, and all fired up!!

I'm hoping to be able to raise enough funds to support one child to get to go to Ben James camp this year.   Both boys have gone in past years, and have loved every time they go.  With the cost of camp fees having to go up to $450 per kid per week this year (inflation has got us all), if we can fundraise enough money through our walk this year to sponsor another child in the camp, we would be over the moon excited.

No contribution is too small, and every little bit helps, so please drop us a donation, and share this page with your friends!   And if you are interested in joining our team and fundraising as well, let me know, and I'll add you to the team!   Thanks everyone!!!
