Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks! I've partnered with Autism Speaks for my next race during Run Disney's Half Marathon Weekend in January 2024.
Have something you'd like me to promote or wear during the race; no problem! Donate $100 or more and I'll be proud to promote you or your company! Donate $500 and you can choose my entire race day outfit (I have 2 of these available- one for the half and one for the 10k)! (must comply with Disney dress code https://www.rundisney.com/events/disneyland/disneyland-half-marathon-weekend/race-policies/ )
I've set a goal to raise $750 that will go directly to Autism Speaks. A herniated disc and gluteal tear haven't stopped my motivation to complete this race and partnership- I'm rehabbing diligently and plan to be ready for January- fuel my rehab fire and help get me to my goal! :)
Disneyland Half Marathon weekend is rapidly approaching. Each year, more than 70,000 adolescents with autism leave high school and face a “service-cliff” when education ends and access to many needed supports and services stop. Ninety percent of autistic adults are unemployed or under-employed despite many having the skill set and being willing and eager to work.
To address these concerns, Autism Speaks:
- Funded over $15 million in local community grants and scholarships
- Partnered to create one million pathways to employment and leadership opportunities for people with autism and development issues by 2025
- Did you know that a donation of $50 can train 15 autistic jobseekers?
- Did you know that a donation of $150 can assist 18 autistic teens who are leaving high school to create a path forward
These are just some of the many accomplishments YOUR support makes possible.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
