On Saturday, May 15, hundreds of walkers from across 15 states joined the path to bettering the world for children with autism and their families as part of BluePath Service Dogs’ fifth annual walkathon. The family-friendly fundraiser – this year held virtually – raised more than $120,000 to further BluePath’s mission of providing autism service dogs, offering safety, companionship and opportunities for independence.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, one out of every 54 children born today will develop an autism spectrum disorder. It is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. Walkathon participants had the opportunity to learn more about how the nonprofit is unlocking life s potential for children and families touched by autism during an online kick-off event before heading out to walk in their own communities.
