AUTISM SPEAKS INC

My name is Anthony “Tony” Roddy and I am 65 years old. At this age, I am very proud to be a part of an exclusive generation called the “Baby Boomers.” I made a recent promise to myself which was twofold: the first was when I retire from the workforce and still have great health, I would walk across America. Secondly, to stay in alignment with empathy and be as unselfish/selfless as I can when it comes to serving others. The retirement happened for me in 2014 from USDA Forest Service, and I began my historical “Walk About America” in 2015. I completed the "Walk About America" (3,037 mi) in December 2015, helping the Make-A-Wish children. This current promotion that I'm doing is to help my wonderful, gifted grandson, Mr. Warren Roddy. As a concerned, loving, teaching grandfather, it is my obligation (I feel) to help promote my grandson's developmental skills he might need for life. And with your help in supporting the Autism organization, it will go a long way. I found that walking helped me with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from Iraq. So why not walk, help myself, and help someone else at the same time. Fast forward to March 2025, I will be walking the Appalachian Trail (AT) 2,100 miles to bring awareness and attempt to raise funds for the AUTISM organization. This world is going to be tough enough, so why not help. My word of today is Legacy; anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor. The Baby Boomers generation is making a mass exodus into the retirement realm (me included) and wants to show the rest of the world that we still got it. As a future predecessor, I must leave something that is positively worthwhile (not any debt) for my family to remember me by. I am leaving a remembrance of compassion to help people, and kids are people too, especially if it's a grandchild. I can’t think of a better way to help and support the kids that deserve help just by simply walking a few miles. This is something that really feels natural to me. The Bible states, "Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him" Psalm 127:3-5. All money donated will go directly to AUTISM SPEAKS organization. Thank you.

The Stamford High Lacrosse Team is a group of players who work hard both on and off the field. We decided to raise money for autism awareness because it’s an important cause that affects many families in our community.

By supporting this fundraiser, we hope to help programs that provide resources and support for people with autism and their families. It’s our way of giving back and showing that our team cares about making a difference, not just in sports but in the community too.

We encourage everyone to be kind.

April is National Autism Acceptance Month, so no better time to raise some money! Having it be so close to home for me I’m taking it as a challenge for me and you! Everyday I will run 1 mile at least and if I do you owe the charity 25$, if I don’t, then I will be putting in the 25$ each time I fail!

Thanks for any and all support!

For my birthday I am asking for donations for Autism speaks. It’s important to me, no pressure if someone is able to donate great! It would make my day. This organization is fantastic and helps people with Autism in a huge way! Thanks!

My precious niece sent our family this text message (see picture or dictated below)!

We all draw a name for Christmas and have a $50 budget. I drew her name this year and I am in awe of her compassion and that as a young 22 year old she, is asking that her secret Santa makes a difference with her $50 dollars instead of getting her anything. I laid in bed thinking about how amazing it would be if we could turn this $50 into $500 or more.

Isabella has a heart for the autistic. She has worked at Healing Haven for the last several years as an RBT and is going to start her masters next year with the heart and goal of make a difference.

Would you consider giving $5 or $10 this Christmas to Autism Speaks? It would bless us and them greatly.

Merry Christmas, Beth DeLemos

"Yo yo everyone!! I think the way secret santa works is that no one from my household can have me, so with that being said someone in y’all’s house has me:) If my secret Santa hasn’t already gotten me a gift, I would love it if my secret santa would give to someone y’all know is in need this Christmas instead with the $50 budget. I am so blessed and truly have more than I need, my cup overflows with blessings! However, if my secret santa has already gotten me a gift I am very grateful for their thoughtfulness and generosity. Have a beautiful day everyone!"
