Watching one of the most important people in your life struggle to adapt to a world they don?t understand, and one that doesn?t understand them is probably the most difficult part of parenting. For that reason, I have become one of Micah?s biggest supporters and cheerleaders. While life may look a bit different for him, he deserves to be accepted and granted the same opportunities as other children his age. For that reason I am doing this fundraiser.

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!
