Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Ariah happens to be one of those 70 million. Ariah's brain functions differently. But her brain is still eager to learn, to understand, and to thrive...in every capacity. Autism Speaks will be there for Ariah and kids like her. You and I can be too.

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Please join me by donating to help me reach my fundraising goal, if able. I thank you in advance for your support!
