The 10th annual Toronto Walk Now for Autism Speaks fundraising and awareness event will take place on Sunday, June 8, 2014 at Nathan Phillips Square. All event proceeds will support Autism Speaks’ work, both locally and nationally, to increase awareness about the growing autism health crisis, fund innovative autism research and family services, and advocate for the needs of individuals with autism and their families in Toronto and beyond.

The day includes a two to three kilometer Walk and Community Resource fair with educational sources, therapists, schools, recreational organizations, and creative child-friendly activities – a true “one-stop-shop” for families affected by autism.
