My smart, funny, handsome, Mickey Mouse loving nephew Brendan was recently diagnosed with Autism just weeks before his 2nd birthday. My amazing sister and brother in law along with Brendan conquer hard things each day all while staying positive and the Autism Speaks Walk was the best way to surround themselves with exactly that, positivity! So whether you are able to donate to our fundraising goal, walk alongside us in support of Brendan or simply read about our little guy we appreciate you. THANK YOU!!

You can join our team, Brendan’s Buddies here!

**Jones Beach Autism Speaks Walk date is still to be determined but it will be this fall! We’ll post an update when we find out!**

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!
