Your neighbor walks for Autism

On October 5, 2013, Michael Sabato, Financial Services Executive of the Strategic Wealth Group in Roseland NJ, will be participating in a walk to raise awareness for Autism. 12 years ago Michael’s family’s life was changed when his son Michael John was diagnosed with this disease. Autism has since been a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. Last year his team, Team Hope, raised over $20,000 to be one of the leaders of the event. This year they are aiming to be number one. Community support can help to change the lives of so many children who have been affected by Autism.

Autism now effects 1 in every 88 children, and together we can work to solve this puzzle that still remains a mystery.
