I registered for this event a few weeks ago. I should have put this up sooner, so my friends and family could donate if they want. It's not too late if you feel generous and you have something, anything to contribute. I've been wanting to do a 5K for a while and I've been waiting and waiting for my body to be up to it, but time is passing by and 5Ks are coming and going. So, I finally just jumped in and planted my flag. I have no intention of running it; I just want to complete it.
The race also happens to be for Autism. We have a friend with an Autistic child. This is who I will be racing for. Well, that was my intention anyway. Now it looks like I may also be racing for one of my own children. Cameron is now in the evaluation process. This has been a hard week for us, having a specialist at school tell me on Monday that he has autistic like symptoms. Then him being seen by a pediatrician on Wednesday who specializes in childhood disorders. That pediatrician has referred Cameron to an Autistic specialist. We shall see.
If Cameron turns out not to have any kind of Autism, wonderful. But we do know something is wrong. Anyone who spends a great deal of time with him sees it. Monotone voice, obsessions, auditory processing problems, etc. Anyway, if it turns out to be something else, great. Still there are others out there that need more help. That's why I'm racing.
Please help if you can. The race is on Saturday, March 27th.
