Hi everyone !!

I am thrilled to be participating in the Disney Princess Half Marathon on February 23, 2025. I have grown up in a "Disney Family" and when we were younger we had season passes and would be in Orlando ALOT. My dad has run in the Disney marathon several times and my mom is doing this race for the first time with me this year! Needless to say, we are excited. AND the best part about all of this is that I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me while accomplishing a personal goal.

I am 16 years old and I have two younger sisters, Margaret (14) and Sarah Grace (11).

My sister Sarah Grace, or as we call her "Tiny", was diagnosed with Autism at a young age, and she is just so special to our family and to everyone who knows her!

She has inspired me through her remarkable love, kindness, and most of all silliness to want to run this race for a cause that is important to so many, as well to all others who are on the spectrum!

\u2028\u2028A little about this organization:

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.

Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.

Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
