In my endeavor to lead a healthier lifestyle and live a more active life, I am fundraising for Autism Speaks which will allow me to run 26.2 miles in the TCS NYC Marathon in November 2, 2025.

If you have supported me in the past, thank you! I am again asking for your support. If you aren’t able to donate at this time, that’s ok! I also accept words of encouragement. 

I chose Autism Speaks because it is a well known organization that brings awareness to Autism. Because of Autism Speaks, Autism is now a well known condition. I believe the awareness makes people more tolerant, and the world a more loving place.

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!
