Please 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. 

I am raising funds for Autism Speaks because it is an organization that means the world to me. Supporting individuals with Autism is something that I do each and every day. I teach 6, 7, and 8 year olds with Autism and work nonstop to advocate for them and give them the skills they need to succeed. I am reminded every day why I love what I do and look forward to raise money to help these individuals defy all odds while also accomplishing a huge goal of mine!

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!
