Nicole Mays, a teacher at Kennedy Elementary School, will be participating in a fundraiser for autism research this weekend.
Mays and the other members of her team are taking part in the May 23 “Walk Now for Autism Speaks” fundraiser.
The event will be held at Atlantic Station in downtown Atlanta. Mays and her team hope to raise $1,000 to fund research into the causes, prevention, treatment and cure of autism. The Autism Speaks organization also advocates for individuals with autism and their families.
