I?m running this 5K for my son, Braydon ? my inspiration, my why, and the heart behind BraySpeaks.

Braydon has shown me what true strength, love, and resilience look like. Through his journey with autism, I?ve learned that awareness isn?t just about knowing ? it?s about understanding, including, and accepting. Every stride I take in this race is a step toward a world where neurodiversity is celebrated, not just tolerated.

This run means so much more than crossing a finish line. It?s about giving a voice to those who communicate differently, standing up for inclusion, and reminding the world that autism awareness is an everyday mission. I?m running for Braydon and every family walking this journey ? for the smiles, the challenges, the milestones, and the moments of pure joy that remind us why this fight for awareness matters so deeply.

Your support helps fuel the vision behind BraySpeaks ? creating spaces, resources, and opportunities that honor and uplift our autism community. Together, let?s run for change, run for inclusion, and run for Braydon.
