I am honored to be running with Autism Speaks for the Chicago Marathon!
I will be running in honor of my older brother, Zachary. He loves camping, going for walks in the woods, hunting trips with our dad, and being driven around in his side-by-side. Zachary brings out the best in everyone around him. He is the most positive person I know, and loves our family and pets more than anything. Please join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks and my brother!
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!
