In case you are wondering what this walk is all about....it's all about "The Dude." Patrick is "The Dude." Patrick is the sweetest, most lovable little dude who happens to to be diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. Patrick and his family - Mom (Bridget), Dad (Daren) and sister (Delaney) participate in the Walk Now For Autism walk in Philadelphia which is a larger walk to support autism awareness and raise money for research to find a cure. They had a great idea to form a smaller walk to reach out to the community in which they live and gather together with friends and family and walk to help Patrick and his "Team Dude" walkers raise a little extra money to take with them to the walk in Philadelphia. Hopefully you will be able to join "Team Dude" at the walk at Heritage Park on Saturday, June 7, 2008 and help find a cure for autism.
