Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. 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. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Our oldest son, DC, was diagnosed with autism in 2022 and since then we have been introduced to several therapies, resources, and opportunities. Anyone who knows DC, knows exactly how lively he is and how pure his heart is. DC and his village will be participating in the walk as we continue to build awareness and advocate for the autistic community! 

Please join DC by donating to help him reach his fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thank you so much for your support! ​
