Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!

I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me, while also accomplishing a personal goal. My niece Grace, is one of many facing the daily challenges of autism. I am hoping to increase awareness and support for an organization that improves the lives of many. Personally, I am also excited to participate in my first 10K on February 25th in Orlando!

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 Grace and me reach our goals. Your support is greatly appreciated!
