Hi! I'm Melissa, a passionate runner on a mission! After losing 120 pounds, I've discovered a love for running that's taken me to new heights. I'm currently training for Disney's Springtime races, where I'll be running to raise funds and awareness for Autism Speaks. Teaming up with Autism Speaks is close to my heart, as I'm dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by autism. Join me on this journey by supporting my fundraising efforts!
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!
