Thank you for visiting my fundraising page to support TACA .

 When I was first diagnosed with Autism almost 3 years ago (August 3, 2003 to be exact) my parents thought what do we do? My mom immediately got reading everything she could get her hands along with researching everything she come across through the internet. She found a page called Talk About Curing Autism (TACA).

Through the information and resources  found through TACA, my parents immediately found me a DAN doctor (Defeat Autism Now), which believes in a biomedical approach. We started to clean out my body from environmental toxins.

Through my journey I have gone organic, I get a MB-12 shot every 3 days, have acupuncture monthly I take minerals and vitamins. Heavy metal chelation( to remove lead and mercury from my body, those nasty vaccines).  I have speech therapy twice a week; I have gone through tomatis listening therapy, infrared sauna, and hyperbaric oxygen chamber, to name a few.

My Mom and Dad have sacrificed so much to get me to this amazing place that I am at. I am 1 of the top 3 readers in my class. Most people can not tell the difference between me and my typical peers, and I will be going to a regular kindergarten next year. Not bad considering 3 years ago I could not respond to my name, let alone any question that you asked me (now I won't shut up). I used to walk through a room and not notice anyone, now I want to know who everyone is, and I want to play with everyone.

Anything I put my mind to I can now accomplish, there is absolutely no stopping me (it's in the genes). I am so blessed that my parents found this amazing organization TACA who have supported and guided me and my parents through this journey.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Love and Huggs,
