My son is doing an autism walk in AUS August 17; please leave him an attaboy message

The Golden Hat Foundation supports those with autism. They are having a fundraising walk next month near AUS:

My son is walking and I know he'd appreciate an encouraging message on his personal page.:

Thanks to all.

I'd love to support BUT

it's not clear how to send words of encouragement without making a donation. As I already support a walker locally and have for many years that's where my donation #$$ goes.

You might check out Flyertalk Cares.

It looks like you can simply add a comment without making a donation. Just scroll down the page.

Having had the pleasure of meeting this fine young man a number of times, I'd like to donate.

(FYI, site kept timing out, I'll try later)

I don't have a FB account so I couldn't comment either. Maybe comment to toomanybooks via PM & he can show his son the PM??

Cheers.

Thank you for your interest. If you'd rather send me a PM for him, I will make sure he sees it.

My understanding is that he will get the credit if that link is clicked. He is so far the walker with the most pledged.

good, hopefully my huge donation keeps him at the top. Ok it isn't huge but a small way of supporting Carl on his mission.

Another with no FB account, but I used the link to donate. I donated $2 so I'm sure I beat Willie (kidding - about the $2, not the other part )!

Exclamation Directly to Carl here:

Persist

These are the colors of the Boston Marathon and now Boston Strong.

It's all one foot in front of the other.
