Chuck Wilcox, father of nine-year-old Ryan and six-year-old Tyler of Kernersville, N.C. writes: "My sons (Ryan and Tyler) and their friends raised $505 with their “First Annual Heely-A-Thon” event, honoring their cousins who have autism. The kids had a good time and worked hard on a cold day – we were very proud of them all and they were quite proud of themselves. On New Year's Day, they made a sign and we did a little dedication at the beginning. Each child proceeded to ride somewhere between 75 and 100 laps around our cul-de-sac – a short route, but more work than you might imagine – take it from an old timer! They enjoyed hot chocolate and other refreshments, and had the chance to feel great about helping those with autism."
