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

• 0 – the 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!
