Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks! I am raising funds to support an amazing organization, all while getting the opportunity to fulfill a long time dream of mine to run the NYC Marathon this year.
As a pediatric anesthesiologist, I have worked with many patients with autism, and their families, in a variety of settings. However I have also many people in my life across the spectrum, both family and friends. I am proud to support a cause that can help empower individuals and their families, promote advocacy and research, and support education to the general public.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
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!
