“Because of the joy of giving, we can make a difference for Pitt Hopkins and Autism families. With Pitt Hopkins being a type of Autism, this research can give clues to finding a cure for Autism too.”
“I see how difficult it can be having a special needs child. If my giving a little bit can help give hope to even a tiny portion of the families with special needs children, I am more than happy to do so.”
“I’m simply amazed by what this group of parents (and scientist supporters) has been able to do over the years. Raise awareness, Raise Money!”
“I fundraise because my daughter cannot. I speak up because my daughter cannot. I will continue to fight until “cannot” is not in our vocabulary.”
