Trek for Autism was established by Madeline Foster and her father Dan Foster to raise Autism awareness and money for two great charities. The duo will climb Mount Kilimanjaro in June of 2018, in what will be Trek for Autism's Inaugural climb. One hundred percent of funds raised will be donated two charities: Sunflower Hill, a sustainable residential community for individuals with special needs that provides for life-long residency options and vocational, educational and recreational programs to ensure a full and productive life, and Autism Speaks, an autism advocacy organization that sponsors research and conducts awareness and outreach activities.
