“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!”
