Dear Hunter,
In response to numerous requests to resend information regarding the 2012 Autism
 Speaks July 4th 5k, I hope you don't mind that I've included my original letter
 below.  To participate, simply click this quick link to our Richies Racers [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001i-sbAtdpjl-5oJAmxji3TdlCMFR53skta2KLIcTQ2fOM2aBEFl0R1RKTc2QrPfeYliK66ysRu1vVlpHNs8HUwitcjnC9MBUJJWDFWrWVcfFDMCYMi2k58_Vz_tDJb0AdtpuPGmoxTUaJ-Oyxt8c8KCTM3PMVJMhOuyk1uHaconQkdXMkkeXJh64qKdQ4unP4yufmFXp7ViB82268Kt580Ja7lmrqVTiNw34QkUSlshX-lgDILPf-lKMe2oZmocGl_JB4vvzqcIzQR8WoXOPiVxK8_z4LDT9Tw6Isj2Tsgt5pbqfC5NkmSWfd4t6Xn-r3AbUxkKWDLNZEDuQkcNXxkrMTTKIVDc7f2r3bKKD73wxZZ3ENDIjX9HLAt4b7TRSt84D6SoiPFDFv1UnyoEh3zbkdec3wtR-6w415YsKpHDxa1WOs1u3Gj8ZBcfRNIp5IJ2Qn3evCabc=]
team page.  Thanks for allowing me to reach out to you again.
************************************

As you may or may not know, Mimi's and my youngest son Richard received an autism
spectrum diagnosis at age 12 months. At the time of Richards's diagnosis 14 years
ago, the prevalence rate for this diagnosis was 1 in 166 children. This rate has
 now soared to 1 in 88 children (1 in 54 boys). Given this terrifying trend, as 
well as my deep respect for the Autism Speaks organization, I am pleased this year
to again be serving as the Sponsorship Chair for the Autism Speaks 5K race. Joining
me in this effort, BOWA will be the Presenting Sponsor.

I am writing to solicit your participation in finding a cure for autism. Autism 
Speaks,  the nation's leading nonprofit organization devoted to autism, has set 
a  goal to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum  disorders
by funding global biomedical research into the causes,  prevention, treatments, 
and cure for autism; raising public awareness  about autism and its effects on individuals,
families, and society; and  bringing hope to all who deal with this disorder. Over
76% of the  dollars raised go directly toward these efforts.

July  4th, 2012 will mark the 12th Anniversary of the Autism Speaks 5K race/1  mile
walk. For the past eleven years, the generous support of our  sponsors, donors  
and participants has made this event tremendously successful,  contributing over
 $2 million to Autism Speaks. Last year there were  nearly 2,500 participants, 50
sponsors and over 80 volunteers. This  community oriented event is for both competitive
runners and families  with children of all ages, and is a wonderful start to Independence
Day.  Last year Autism Speaks launched the "Run Anywhere" initiative. Runners  and
walkers who can't be with us on July 4th can compete and  participate wherever they
might be. They register via the website, get  their event shirt in advance and join
us virtually on July 4th. You can  run and raise money for autism anywhere.

I  hope that you will consider contributing to our continued success by  becoming
a donor to the event, participating in the event, or ideally  doing both. Both are
easy and can be accomplished online. Just visit the Autism Speaks 5K Team setup 
page [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001i-sbAtdpjl-80O1R_q97W4Vrp9aQkuzAq2c-4h266GF2faVBesQPSnI1RGC5YovcsjraBZIUmlTYX4jP6C3bC19SIHIDNg6z4MUGaS98EV65aJn6xCAZWxNcYk9hVB5SwHufxGUjo0PDzsFpV_8-SQUXPApULkbRq_tu2_8j1kUS9VRb0fEPNFppkdxT3WY4EDeHLsZGHhFqAJ4E1FXuCbL9LeAsqBz8lw83n3CK9UR-P-5sclIJT9s93-aM0UM0YjWvv4wmhjmsr_QNcgScO96_C6I3DFqteKWJ27vbAaadr1_YKI0VYnhFoRjLwIl62gSzctPC6mIEsgIPmYMGXfzSzgEXg9SKIufKDIfggGG9I-PZlwUyQAiSQ3YpAh2ak4egQR4gPcgno8EtCb4HvUtRuMUBphERWY7f1k0Pg1Y=]

own. Also remember if you plan to be at the beach July 4th,  there will be a Richies
Racers Team Dewey. Feel free to get creative  with your own teams. All registered
racers will receive customized t-shirts as a token of our appreciation.

If you have any questions about the race or Autism Speaks, please do not hesitate
to contact me at [email-masked] [mailto:[email-masked]], or Susan Pereles at [email-masked]
[mailto:[email-masked]].  I hope to see you and your family at the race
on July 4th! If not in Potomac, then "Run Anywhere"!
Sincerely,
