Hands for Hope Walk for Autism is Sunday

Posted:

Nobody knows what causes autism, but we do know it's showing up today in 1 in every 150 children.

In an effort to raise money for autism research, the third annual Hands for Hope Autism Walk is set for this Sunday at the Willie McCool Track at Coronado High School.

Organizers tell me that at this point, you don't have to register, just show up and walk - whatever you can do to show your support.
