Join me in my efforts to support Autism Speaks!
I am raising funds to support a cause that is so important to me, in efforts to help spread inclusion and provide resources for families and individuals who are impacted by autism. I advocate for so many children and adults with autism, but I am specifically walking and fundraising for my brother, Jed and my cousins, Parker and Cole. I strive to encourage those around me to support, understand, accept and empower those with autism. I am fundraising to give back to the community that fills my life with so much joy, daily.
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.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
