Orange County to run for autism

The Autism Speaks Empower Walk and 5K Run in November will increase awareness about the autism and generate money to help many people in Southern California live better lives.

According to a special needs attorney, Georgianna Junco-Kelman, the 20-year-old nonprofit offers families in Southern California comprehensive assistance throughout their lives. Apart from providing referral help and information through its Autism Response Team, Autism Speaks also provides a range of resource guides that cover all aspect of their lives.

Autism Speaks will set up a brand-new 5K in addition to its iconic walk, furthering the organization's goal of making the world a more inclusive place for all individuals with autism.

The organization’s director, Natasha Martin, commented:



"Whether you choose to walk or run, participate as an individual or part of a team, the Empower Walk and 5K Run is really for everyone who wants to make a difference in the autism community."




This year there will be a "superhero sprint," which is a fast-paced competition for people of all ages who will run while wearing capes.

In addition to inclusive activities, attendees may benefit from a resource fair that offers a range of products and services. Promotional products can be distributed at such events.

The Orange County edition of the walk will take place in Silverado's Oak Canyon Park, a few miles east of Old Towne Orange, on Saturday, November 1.
