There was LOTS of vendor booths and every learning and nutritional aid imaginable. It was held at "This Is The Place Monument". You can tell; it was freezing but fabulous.

Autism Speaks - 5K Race - May 1, 2010
It was a dark and rainy and cold morning, but we braved the weather for our first (Salt Lake's 3rd) Autism Speaks Day. I was amazed at how many people were there. We entered a team for Caden, "Team Caden" and we had 10 family members. It was really a lot of fun and we're planning on going next year, so any of you in the area next May 1, please join us. Kristin raised $500 and next year we're hoping to raise $1,000.

Caden was enamored with the Bounce Houses. There were 4 of them. But they were full of kids and noise, which, for autistic kids, is a huge impediment. So it took until the end of the day before he found courage (with Kristin's help) to actually get inside one.
There were thousands of people. The starting line and main stage area were packed, and a festive atmosphere.
Here's a few shots of "Team Caden"

You guys are troopers! And way to go Kristin on the fundraising efforts.
ReplyDeleteIn response to your comments, I think you must get yourself down to Southern Utah. It is heaven (in the spring and fall anyway, not so much in the 100 degree summers). We're heading down to Zions over fall break and there are some mighty nice hotels. You can hike around with the kiddos, or ditch us if they get to be too much work. The great thing about the shuttle system they have is that there is no pressure to stay with your group.
It seems like family blogging is dominated by women, I don't know of any male relatives that blog, other than you, Dave, and Chuck. I hope you keep blogging. I love reading what you write, and I think it's a great and convenient way to keep a personal history.
Way to brave the weather! So, what was your time Bubba?
ReplyDeleteIt was a great walk (even though I didn't get to actually walk it.) I can't wait to go next year and hopefully it will be better weather.
