Please join me and my son, Matthew, in our efforts to support and share awareness for Autism Speaks!
We are excited to be raising funds to support a cause that is important to us, while accomplishing our own personal goal of completing all 6 World Major Marathons as a Mother~Son running team! We will be earning our 6th World Major Marathon Star at the completion of the London Marathon. What better way to celebrate this accomplishment then by running this race for such an amazing charity....Autism Speaks!
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 so much for helping us reach our goal of bringing awareness and financial support to Autism Speaks. Your support is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping and empowering those individuals and families that embrace autism in their daily lives!
