Elias Tembenis Memorial Walk

Elias Tembenis Memorial Walk
Elias Tembenis was born in 2000 and was the light of his parents’ eyes. At age 4 months, he received a set of vaccinations that catapulted him into seizures; later to be diagnosed with a seizure disorder and then Autism. His parents worked diligently to get him the help he needed and he began to make great strides. At age 6, he was well on his way to recovery, but then, suddenly, the seizures that had plagued him earlier returned and ended his journey.
The Elias Tembenis Walk for Autism is a journey across America to benefit families struggling to pay for autism therapy and medical services. Two friends of the Tembenis Family, Robert Williams and Bobby Genese, both of Worcester, MA, began their walk in May 2008. Robert Williams and Bobby Genese have made their way through Cincinnati and were supported by the Cincinnati A-Team.
They are collecting donations online and the proceeds benefit NAA's Helping Hand Project, providing direct assistance to autism families in need.
