Ride For Autism

Ride for Autism is a volunteer group dedicated to raising funds benefiting non-profit entities that are directly involved with the Autism Spectrum Disorder, by organizing motorcycle fun rides in the Los Angeles area. Autism is a developmental disability that effects 1 in 150 kids. It is a growing epidemic and we need to stop it NOW. Some kids with autism are severely effected, others mildly. Some kids with autism have a lot of trouble with speech and social skills, as in some can't talk or express how they feel. Kids with autism most of the time do not have any physical abnormalities, that's what makes it so hard to distinguish them. Not only does autism effect kids and adults, but their families as well.RIDE FOR AUTISM is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and families of individuals with autism and related disorders. It is a motorcycle ride that will take off on August 23, 2008 from Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson in Baldwin Park, CA and end at Original Mike's in Santa Ana, CA. Our beneficiaries are Autism Society of America, Surfer's Healing, and Autism Speaks, organzations that have the same vision as us for kids with autism.
