Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.

Myself, Lisa Reid and my sister Lateresa Mays and friend MeAeyko Saunders all have children that are on the autism spectrum. We are super excited to be a part of this movement! My son name is Romelo Reid (3 years old), my sisters son name is Ethan Mays (13 years old) and daughter Tamia Mays (21 years old) and my friends son name is Julian Saunders (9 years old). We are partnering with other families to walk with purpose. We are faith walkers and we are excited!!! 

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Please join me by donating to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
