Hi Friends and Family!
FINALLY, I am running New York City’s 51st annual Marathon on November 6th, 2022! I have chosen to run for something bigger than myself, by fundraising for Autism Speaks, a foundation that means a lot to me. Two years ago (pre Covid) I signed up to run and then the world shut down. Here we are two years later and we’re back at it!
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 59 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.
Donate today and help me reach my goal and together we can both contribute to an amazing cause. ANY donation helps and I will be eternally grateful for your support!
THANK YOU for supporting me and my goal!! CHEERS to 26.2 miles! See you at the finish line!
