Walking with Purpose: Lynette Chats with Amber About the 2025 Whatcom County Autism Walk

Hey friends! I recently had the chance to sit down with Amber, the heart behind the Whatcom County Autism Walk. This amazing community event is coming up on August 2nd from 3–5 PM at Nooksack Valley High School, and it’s all about bringing people together to support and celebrate individuals with autism and special needs.Donations are accepted but the walk is totally FREE and open to everyone—come as you are! There’ll be music, food, fun activities for the whole family (yes, even princesses and superheroes!), and a chance to connect with others, share stories, and access some great local resources. Plus, the first 100 kids will get a free fidget bag!Amber shares so much about the heart behind the event and how every step taken helps provide resources for special education classrooms in the Nooksack Valley School District. I promise, you’ll leave feeling encouraged, inspired, and reminded of how powerful community can be.
