Coins for a Cure Kickoff

I've created this blog because it is much easier and fun for you to see how my sweet Max is doing than simply read what I have to say.

Max's grandma from Texas says that 2009 is the year that Max will turn it all around and I think she's right. That boy is the hardest worker I've ever seen. He still goes to the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) four days a week . In addition to the ECLC, Max has ABA therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and a priceless Life Coach (Melissa). We have added one new therapy. Some of you have heard me talk about the hyperbaric chamber (hbot). We have an amazingly generous friend that is allowing us to do dives for free at her home. It is saving us thousands of dollars and we are beyond hopeful that we will see (and/or hear a miracle soon). Fingers crosses for us please!

I will write more later. I have lots to tell you about...our kindergarten selection for Max, his new interests, and some of our continued struggles, but for now I want to announce our kick off fundraiser for Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd.

We all have change lying around so I thought Coins for a Cure would be an easy way to raise some money while raising awareness for Max and Autism. Take your change to a Coin Star or other such machine and then donate your cashola to Team Max (http://www.walknowforautism.org/orangecounty/max). Please do so by April 2nd at midnight. the person who raises the most money will receive a prize. I will make some of my friend Stephanie's world famous (if they're not, they should be) Super Cookies for the winner in addition to a couple of other little goodies! Please pass this along to anyone that you think might want to participate. The more-the merrier!

Love to you all and check back often. I will try to update daily from now until April 2nd.
