Hi Fishy Friends! :laugh:

I just wanted to let you all know a project I'm taking part in this year. In October I'm walking in the "Walk now for Autism" program lead by Autism Speaks. It takes place on Sunday the 19th at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. The purpose of this walk is to raise money for autism research and to increase awareness of autism around the world. Autism is a life long neurological disorder that affects many people. At this moment it is the most prevalent childhood disorder and more and more cases of autism are being diagnosed everyday. This is why Autism needs our attention as a society.

There are many ways in which you can support this cause. You can go this link below and donate what you can do Autism Speaks, or you can join the FABA Group and walk with us on October 19th.

I thank you in advance for your support and for allowing me to post this on CAC!

Sincerely,
Jen Mah :)

Finally remembered to get mine in - you go girl!

I know a fish breeder who has a daughter suffering from Autism and the family has to revolve their lives around her needs, even for something as simple as shipping a box of fish. Unfortunately it's common enough to be seen in every community, including ours. Please support Jen and Autism research through donations or participation!
