It's 3:37 am and time to get running for Autism Speaks with my friend Stephanie!
Friends and family, you all know that I love Disney... For the first time in a couple of years, I am going to participate in a runDisney event again. This time, for the VERY first time, I am running this event on behalf of a charity, which is a bucket list of mine. For that reason, my friend Tania and I have created our team “The Year Of 50” (I think you can guess why!)
I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me and to Tania's family - Autism Speaks.
Did you know that 1 in 54 children is on the autism spectrum???
Autism 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.}
Any support you can give is greatly appreciated! XO Stephanie (and Minnie too)
