Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!
I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me while accomplishing a personal goal of running The New York City Marathon.
Our son, Oliver, was diagnosed with ASD when he was 2. Through early intervention, he had therapists working with him at home, and he was enrolled in bright beginnings at an elementary school when he was 3. From there, he has really thrived. He is now in 2nd grade, in a mainstream classroom. Oliver has taught his classmates how to be patient and accepting and these amazing kids have taught Oliver what friendship is. We need organizations like Autism Speaks for our communities to help and support these kids now into their adult lives.
Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. They empower people with autism and their families with resources, online tools and information covering the life span.
Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
