ROAR for Autism is a bike ride, nature walk, and family festival dedicated to raising critically needed funds for autism research at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. The event, which will be held at Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville, Maryland, is a great way to honor the end of Autism Awareness Month. Participants may choose to ride 50, 25, 10, or 5 miles, or walk the park's nature trails. There is also a low-mileage ride for the kids. Live entertainment, refreshments, and one of the area's most impressive playgrounds make ROAR a great event for the whole family. Don't forget to also help spread the word by creating an online fundraising page where you can tell family and friends that you are participating in ROAR, build your own team, post pictures, and track donations.
