“Lets Go Run 26.2 Miles for Talk About Curing Autism”

Team TACA H2O Continues to Strive Towards Raising Funds and Awareness for Talk About Curing Autism “Lets Go Run 26.2 Miles for Talk About Curing Autism”

Tigard, Oregon (PRWEB) September 11, 2010 – Tigard community member Scott Rowley will run the Portland Marathon this year on 10-10-10 to raise funds and awareness for Talk About Curing Autism (TACA). Scott’s goal of this event is to finish in a time that gains community attention and allows him to compete in the Boston Marathon, while keeping in mind the thousands of children he is helping that are effected by autism.


“This fund-raiser has been motivated by a strong desire to do something positive for our community and help families affected by autism in the state of Oregon,” said Rowley.“ This is not the first run at non-profit fundraising that Rowley has helped with this summer.

On July 7, 2010 Sammy Carlson, Scott Rowley, Drew Bryant, Brian Dalrymple and Craig Gruenewald left Hood River, Oregon on the journey of a lifetime. Their mission was to ride their bicycles from Hood River Oregon to Ogden Utah in ten days. They ended up pushing what is mentally and physically possible by riding 850 mile route in eight days. All proceeds from ride and the Portland Marathon will benefit TACA, enable them to establish a chapter in Oregon and continue helping families affected by this disorder.

Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) provides support, education, information, and resources to over 18,500 families across the United States effected by autism. One in every 91 children in the United States is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. TACA provides the largest national telephone and email response team for parents who have a child affected by autism. 95 percent of TACA's programs and services are provided at no cost to parents. They include education and support meetings, parent mentoring, and the Autism Journey Guide. TACA aims to speed up the cycle time from the autism diagnosis to effective treatments. TACA helps to strengthen the autism community by connecting families and the professionals who can help them, allowing them to share stories and information to help people with autism. Additional information is available at www.tacanow.org.

Trip Recap

When Sammy Carlson contacted me 7 months ago about creating a bike ride fundraiser event to promote Talk About Curing Autism I was all ears.

"Hey Scott! I have this idea for a bike ride to support Talk About Curing Autism (TACA.) This will without a doubt be the hardest goal either of us has had to prepare for mentally and physically, but I am willing to do it.

Seven months later Team TACA H2O gazes back at what we have attained. All the stories, photographs and experiences are truly irreplaceable, and would have never been made possible without the help from a group of very special individuals at Talk About Curing Autism and around our communities.

The inaugural Hood River to Ogden (H2O) event was truly the trip of a lifetime made possible by the following individuals -

Special thanks to -

Lisa, Violette and Roxanne from Talk About Curing Autism (TACA)
Jenny Naftulin from Salomon Sports
Bess Ferrin from Amer Sports
Kevin Kruse from Scott USA
Kurt from Discover Bicycles
Outer Rim Bicycles
Greg Strokes from Oakley
Mike Fitzpatrick from Sun Valley Resorts
John and Michelle Rowley for providing us with a reliable source of support transportation
Steve and Bev Pongracz for their generous donation to TACA

If you already donated to this effort, "THANKS" from all of us and the families your contribution will touch.

No amount is too small, and you can still donate to TACA and their support of families effected by autism through the TACA H2O website. Look for the 'First Giving" box at the top of the web page and click "Donate." Our team worked hard to make this ride happen. We will keep working to raise funds to help the families in our communities. If you believe in helping your neighbors or celebrating young people making a real effort on behalf of the communities we live in, please take a moment to donate.

We would also like to thank everyone following/supporting our adventure. If you read this blog post you are one of those unique individuals.
