Lace up those sneakers, rally your friends and head to Fulshear, Texas. It’s the First Annual Hope for Three 5K Run and 3K Walk for autism. The event, which is open to the young, seasoned, uniquely-abled and abled, will kick off this year’s Fulshear Scarecrow Festival on October 18.

Honorary Event Chairs are Fulshear Mayor, Tommy Kuykendall, Katy Mayor Fabol Hughes, Simonton Mayor, Daniel McJunkin and Weston Lakes Mayor Mary Rose Zdunkewicz. Each have signed on to bring autism awareness not only to each of their cities, but the surrounding area. “We have some stiff competition, all in the honor of team work, that is”, laughs Katie Wiseman, Hope for Three Executive Director. “Each of our honorary chairs and committee members vow to out-do the other.”

Autism is one of the leading disorders affecting children, worldwide, with one in 50 school-aged children being diagnosed. Run for Autism will bring awareness to the community and assist those with resources living in the Fort Bend County area.

Registration is now underway, log onto www.hopeforthree.org/run-for-autism. Early Bird Runner and Walker fees are $25 adult and $10 child until September 28. Fees will then increase to $35 per adult and $15 per child until the morning of the event. Inaugural event t-shirts, as well as other goodies will be provided to all participants.

Along with the help of our honorary chairs and supportive committee members, we are able to host such a fun-filled event and provide resources to our “ausome” kiddos. However, we need YOU to sign up as a walk/run participate, sponsor or underwriter. Give us a call at 1- 800-317-0787. Hope for Three – Autism Advocates Providing Help, Creating Hope!
