I’m running the New York Marathon this year to raise awareness and support for Autism Speaks, a cause that’s very close to my heart. My nephew James was diagnosed with autism, and his journey has deeply impacted me and my family. Watching him grow, face challenges, and thrive in his own unique way has been a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding and supporting those with autism.

I’m also running in honor of my two sons, Gus and Jack, and my daughter, Andie. Each of them inspires me every day to be a better person and to make the world a more inclusive place. My wife Christyn has been a huge support throughout this journey, always by my side and encouraging me every step of the way. I’m also incredibly grateful for my sister, Brianne, and my brother-in-law, Jim, whose dedication to James and their family continues to inspire me.

Autism Speaks plays a crucial role in advocating for individuals like James, providing resources, funding research, and offering support to families. This organization is dedicated to enhancing the lives of those affected by autism, and I’m proud to run in honor of my nephew, my children, and all those who are part of this journey. By contributing to my fundraising efforts, you’ll be helping to make a real difference in the lives of people with autism, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to succeed. Thank you for being part of this important cause.
