‘Teachers On The Run’ 5K Series ‘Light It Up Blue’ 5K Road-race for Autism Moved to April 11th!

April is Autism Awareness Month!  Join 'Teachers On the Run' as they raise money to donate to the Autism Society of Maine! The race, 'Light It Up Blue' 5K, originally scheduled for Saturday, April 4th in Hartland, has been moved to next weekend, Saturday, April 11th, due to the inclement weather due in Eastern & Central Maine tomorrow!

The Autism Society of Maine relies on donations to cover the cost of running programs and activities that bring awareness and community to individuals and families dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders.  Autism is a developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. It is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, and occurs in approximately one out of every 68 births. Autism is four times more prevalent in boys than girls and knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries.
