Page 1: 2015 Autismwalk Recruitment Letter

 

     

In  June  2014  three  Bendigo  men  with  autism  walked  as  a  team  for  24  hours  to  raise  funds  to  support  others  with  autism.  This  first  autismwalk  raised  $10,000  for  Turn  A  Life  Around,  providing  iPhone,  iPod  and  iPad  devices  to  assist  people  with  autism  in  enhancing  their  communication  and  promoting  independence.  

The  next  autismwalk  in  2015  will  be  bigger  and  better  –  and  we  are  currently  recruiting  more  walkers  to  the  team.  

autismwalk  team  members  will  be  diagnosed  with  autism  and,  with  pre  walk  training,  be  able  to  walk  in  shifts  with  a  total  walking  time  of  18  hours  over  the  24  hours  of  the  walk.  The  walk  takes  place  in  Bendigo.  

Not  only  will  you  be  helping  raise  funds  to  be  used  to  help  others  with  autism,  you  will  be  helping  to  raise  the  profile  of  autism  and  showcasing  the  abilities  of  people  with  autism.  autismwalk  will  attract  community  and  media  interest  so  you  need  to  be  prepared  to  be  the  ‘centre  of  attention’.  

If  you  are  interested  please  contact  Daryl  Giles  on  0418  522  377  or  [email protected]  for  an  Expression  of  Interest  form  -­‐  and  start  walking!  APPLICATIONS  CLOSE  12  MARCH!
