Over two years ago (on April 5, 2006), Christopher Kuhlmann was diagnosed with autism. Chris is the son of my friends Ken and Kate- who I have known and grown very close to over the last 10 years. Chris is a wonderful 6 year old who is planning to start the first grade this year. He loves learning the alphabet and writing letters, he loves reading stories, swinging and especially watching movies. He is a very special boy with some challenges.Here are some facts on Autism that you may not know:
- 67 children are diagnosed with autism every day
- A new case is diagnosed almost every 20 minutes
- Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of less prevalent childhood diseases
James and I have joined Ken and Kate’s relay team to walk on Sunday, September 28TH. If you feel led to help, please click on the website below and click on my name (Susan Moseley) and make a tax deductible donation.

Hey, girl! What you guys are doing will make a difference in the lives of these children & their parents...but it will especially impact your friends. When you take time out of your life to sacrifice something (time, $, etc) for a friend, it's an unforgettable gift. You guys are obviously phenomenal friends! Enjoy the walk & good luck w/ the fundraising - thanks for giving us the opportunity to partner with you in this way! Love you guys!
