I'm looking to raise funds for an organization that I hold dear, while accomplishing a personal goal of completing my first marathon! As some of you may know, my middle son Everett was diagnosed with ASD at just 21 months. Though he's come along way, he still has an uphill battle. Thanks to organizations like Autism Speaks for not only bringing Autism awareness to the masses, but also providing the resources so many families rely on. Please join in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 1 in 54 children is on the autism spectrum.
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!
