Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!

I am thrilled to be fundraising for my 4th Dopey Challenge and my 10th Marathon weekend! As an autistic adult, fundraising for Autism Speaks is very special to me. It's important that we keep learning and advocating for education, support, and research for everyone on the autism spectrum.

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!
