Please join me in supporting Aiden and Autism Speaks! Together we can make a profound and deep impact on Aiden and his families’ lives. 

I am raising funds to support a cause that is extremely important to me while I take on the 2025 Chicago Marathon in honor of The Winters Family, and my very special friend, Aiden. 

Aiden is no stranger to adversity. He was born with Autism which comes with more than its fair share of daily challenges. This year Aiden and his family were faced with the hardest challenge they may ever endure after Aiden’s father lost his courageous battle with cancer. I implore you to rally behind Aiden so he may feel the love and support of this community. 

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.

My hope is that with your donation Autism Speaks can continue to make the critical investments to empower Aiden and individuals like him to continue to take the steps necessary to overcome all life’s challenges and preserve. Your support is greatly appreciated!
