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.

My son Dorian was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. He has inspired to me to do a ton of research to learn about his condition and how to navigate him through this world. This lead me to Autism Speaks. Autism speaks has provided me with information and outlets. I am grateful for them and this is why I decided to participate in the Greater Philadelphia Empower Walk & 5K Run. I wanted to help the cause, spread awareness and contribute. 

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 and my son Dorian 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!
