On Saturday, October 13th, 2018 riders of all skill levels will travel through scenic Westchester and Fairfield counties in support of this charity bike ride fundraising for autism research. Beginning and ending in Saxon Woods Park, the event offers four route options and a 5K walk to appeal to cyclists and walkers of all ages and experience levels. This fully-supported ride benefits the Autism Science Foundation which helps fund scientists and organizations conducting autism research.
We are looking for volunteers to help on the routes and at the event site. Throughout the event, as a member of a volunteer team, you'll keep the riders and 5K walkers happy. You may be assigned to an "oasis" (rest stop) team, or you may drive a sweep vehicle, or perhaps you'll help serve breakfast and lunch - there are opportunities for almost every interest! We also have specialty teams for medical positions, bike techs, and people who own a motorcycle. Regardless of your interests and abilities, there's a volunteer team for you.
For more information on volunteering, please contact ttimken@globalimpactpro.com.
Register to volunteer for Wall Street Rides FAR today! Thank you for your help and consideration to support autism research within the community.

Mission Statement
The Autism Science Foundation's mission is to support autism research by providing funding and other assistance to scientists and organizations conducting, facilitating, publicizing and disseminating autism research. The organization also provides information about autism to the general public and serves to increase awareness of autism spectrum disorders and the needs of individuals and families affected by autism.
Description
The Autism Science Foundation provides support and resources to families affected by autism. Additionally the organization provides funding directly to scientists conducting cutting-edge autism research to discover the causes of autism and develop better treatments.
Our organization adheres to rigorous scientific standards and values. We believe that outstanding research is the greatest gift we can offer our families. Every research dollar needs to count.
The Autism Science Foundation's mission is premised on the following facts and principles:
- Autism is known to have a strong genetic component. Research must aim to discover the mechanisms of action that trigger autism, as well as safe, effective and novel treatments to enhance the quality of life for children and adults currently affected.
- Early diagnosis and early intervention are critical to helping people with autism reach their potential, but educational, vocational and support services must be applied across the lifespan. Science has a critical role to play in creating evidence-based, effective lifespan interventions.
- Vaccines save lives; they do not cause autism. Numerous studies have failed to show a causal link between vaccines and autism. Vaccine safety research should continue to be conducted by the public health system in order to ensure vaccine safety and maintain confidence in our national vaccine program, but further investment of limited autism research dollars is not warranted at this time.
