Skyler and I were able to participate again this year in Utah's Walk Now For Autism. Last year (our first time) we walked with Miles 4 Maia. This year we signed up as volunteers and we got to be in charges of the kids games. It POURED rain the entire time, but there was still a good turn out which we were all grateful for. I was so glad that Skyler grabbed the poncho for me otherwise I would have been miserable. He braved the rain in his hunting jacket :) Here's what their official website (http://www.walknowforautism.org/) said about the turn out this year:

"We did it Utah!
On Saturday, May 2nd, over 2,000 people
braved the rain to attend the 2nd annual Utah Walk Now for Autism at Utah Valley
University in Orem, Utah and raised over $145,000 for Autism Speaks so far,
funding work in research, family services, advocacy and awareness. Without each
of you, this would not have been possible, and for that, we thank you. A special
thank you to our newly inducted Grand Club Members, donors, sponsors, Team
Captains, walkers, in-kind sponsors, committee, walk day volunteers, Resource
Fair Vendors, entertainers, supporters and friends. Together, we made a
difference in the lives of so many. THANK YOU to all of you for joining
together to raise our voices for autism awareness in the Utah!"

Here are some pics from that day. Skyler and I even got to challenge a couple of kids to the fighting ring LOL
