Studies show that walking is EXCELLENT exercise, and walking for a good cause burns triple the calories!!
OK, we fudged that last part a little, but there are many benefits to participating in the AustismWalkNorthland! Each pledge you collect ensures that more local schools have funding that is necessary to continue providing ASD programs to local children. You can walk AND make a lot of children smile...what could be better?? You can walk as an individual walker, or you can form a team and walk as a group - the more, the merrier! Everyone is welcome, and we love making new friends. Don't be shy - even if you've never participated before, or don't know someone with autism but still want to help, we'll welcome you with open arms. You'll make new friends, get some exercise, and support a great cause.
The "Rules":
- You can walk alone or form a team - there are no set team sizes, so you can have as few or as many teammates as you wish
- You choose where your money goes to - just select the the appropriate school on your pledge sheet
- You can choose to select either a water bottle (customized with Autism Walk) or an Autism Walk Tshirt. If you have multiple walkers, just let us know what each walker prefers (Tshirt or water bottle)
- Shirt sizes are: Adult SM, MED., LARGE, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXXL And Youth Med. ONLY
To register for the walk, just email us at
info@autismwalknorthland.org and give us your name, tell us if you want a water bottle or Tshirt (if shirt, tell us what shirt size(s) you want) and team information. Then, download the pledge sheet by clicking the link above. When it opens, you can either save it to your computer or print it out. If you need multiple pages, print out as many copies as you need. Bring your completed form and pledges to the walk.
