Canucks Autism Network Family Festival

I have been working with kids on the autism spectrum for a decade now and April 1st (this Sunday) is World Autism Awareness Day. Part of the reason I wanted to be chosen as  Joe Runner was so I could raise money for the Cancuks Autism Network, a fantastic non-profit organization that helps kids with autism. I was just working with one of my kids today, he is 6 years old and he's been going to the soccer program put on by the Canucks Autism Network and it is so cool that CAN makes it possible for kids like him to be involved and have fun in sports!

If you have time this weekend, you should check out CAN's Family Festival. It's this Sunday from 10:00am-3:00pm. Vera's burgers is going to be there (yum!). There's also going to be live entertainment and they are going to be lighting the Cauldron in celebration of World Autism Awareness Day. It's happening, rain or shine!
