My personal message:

THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING OUR FUNDRAISING PAGE........

For those of you who know John and I, you are familiar with our journey. Our greatest accomplishment in life was creating our 2 beautiful babies, Jack and Riley. 

Never in our wildest dreams, while preparing for the birth of our baby boy, Jack, did we ever consider that he would be diagnosed 2 years later with Autism.
We were terrified, worried, confused, angry... you name it, we felt it.

We were so madly in love with Jack and we promised to do whatever we needed to do in an effort to ensure the best possible outcome for him.

When Riley was born, we found comfort in knowing that Jack would have his sister to care for him should we not be able to one day. That comfort was stolen from us when our precious little princess was diagnosed with Autism on her first birthday.

It took a short time to look past the adversity and completely celebrate the amazingly beautiful life our kids have given us. Every day with them is truly a gift. They both possess so many amazing qualities and the hard work they both put in on a daily basis is to be admired. They are sweet and precious and have so much to offer to our world.

We can't promise them the future we envision for them on our own. We are incredibly fortunate to have amazing teams of therapists who put so much of themselves into helping our kids. They let us know on a daily basis, through their tremendous efforts, that they love our kids and expect great things from them.... We have been blessed with family and friends who travel all the way to our home just to spend a short amount of time with us between the therapies that they receive 7 days a week. The county, the providers, the school Jack attends, and the families we have met on our journey have treated our kids with dignity and respect and kindness. We are so very grateful to all of you.

We are hoping that you will sponsor our Autism walk for Jack and Riley and the Autism community. Your contribution will serve as an investment in a better future for Jack and Riley and other children diagnosed with Autism, as well.

Thank you,
John and Caryn Fleming
