Dear Family and Friends,

As you may know I have been doing ROAR for five years. Please support me in helping many children diagnosed with Autism. Autism is a neurological disorder, where you have a hard time with social interactions and verbal and non-verbal communications. Autism occurs once in every 110 births, and in Maryland, Autism occurs once in every 142 children. With ROAR, a fundraising family fun festival, I donate money to help doctors find a cure. In 2008, I discovered my best friend Ryan Gillin's brother has Autism. I knew I wasn't in control whether he overcame it or not, but I could help doctors find help for him and many other kids. Today, I still continue to learn about Autism Research. Last year, in Fifth Grade, I did my big research paper on Autism and educated myself with so much information about the disorder. Please join me at the family fun festival on April 29th or donate to make a difference.

Thank You,

Emma Villamater
