Day 53

Chances are you’ve heard of these statistics…


• Autism affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys

• Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism

• Approximately 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. are affected by autism

• Autism costs the nation over $35 billion per year


Here are a few more numbers that we’d like to share…

85 – the number of days since Ryan was diagnosed

53 – the number of days Ryan has been on the GFCF diet

52 – the number of people that walked with The Ryan Express for the Autism Speaks walk on 6/6

$3800 – the amount of money raised by members of The Ryan Express for the walk

87 – the number of students who wore a belt buckle to Mahopac Middle School on 6/4 to support the Buckle Down for Autism Awareness event

130 – the number of Ryan Express shirts purchased during the past month

261 – the number of Ryan Express fans on Facebook

0the number of days we’ve had to face all of this alone



For all you’ve done and continue to do, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
