The subject of the post from a few days ago was Ottawa, Ontario, Canada being home to an annual Walk for Autism Speaks Canada. Autism Speaks is North America's leading Autism science and advocacy organisation.
To the southwest, Chicago, Illinois is also home to an annual Walk for Autism Spreaks...
Here is a link to a video on Chicago's Autism Spreaks Walk from a couple of months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrvycWpmocQ

Meijer partnered with Autism Speaks for the first time this May to help put on the Chicago Autism Speaks Walk.
The walk ...raised more than $800,000 to fund research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism, increased awareness of programs and advocacy for the needs of individuals with autism[, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.]
We donated [many] bottles of water and [many] bananas to the event to ensure that all of the participants had a nutritious snack and stayed hydrated as they walked [for] such a good cause.
Meijer even had a team walking in the event, led by Tom Dant, our own North Chicago market director.
