To our incredible crew: We're taking our team spirit to the streets of Chicago for the Empower walk, and our mission is clear: to race awareness for autism. We all know someone whose life has been touched by autism, whether directly or indirectly. This walk is our opportunity to amplify understanding and help connect individuals and families with crucial resources and support.

If you're able, please consider joining our team for the walk or contributing with a donation. Your support means the world.

Let's walk with passion and purpose, knowing that our collective effort can truly make a positive impact.
