Autism Walk in Tucson

Steve, Anne, Caroline, Paul, boys, Nana, Judd, Ash, Lindsay
The REAL Team Ashton: Helen, Lindsay, Ashton, Cannon and Judd
Alex and Alan: these two are such a pair.
Alan's oldest brother, Judd, lives in Tucson with his wife Helen and their 3 kiddos. Ashton, the middle child, is autistic, and Helen and Judd are very involved in the Tuscon chapter of the Autism Society of America. Helen helped to organize what will now be the annual Autism Walk for the ASA. Out of 400 participants, 65 were walking in support of Ashton and were thus members of Team Ashton. We were proud members ourselves, and had a great day with the family celebrating Ashton and the amazing kid that he is. He is adored by many people who want nothing but great things for him, which was evident today as we all participated in the walk in his honor. We love this family and are in awe of the support they give Ashton. We feel so lucky to be related to such amazing people.
