Hey friends! For those of you who don't know, this is Cliffy! Cliffy has become such an important part of my life and his family has treated my as one of their own. I can't imagine life without them!! I'm joining them in supporting Autism Speaks and the autistic community.

Team Cowfish is back to raise money for Autism Speaks! As a member of Cliffy's village, it's super important to me that he continues to grow up in a world where he has access to resources that will help him to be successful. Autism Speaks has launched Delivering Jobs, an inclusion campaign to create pathways to 1 million employment and leadership opportunities for people with autism, intellectual and/or developmental differences by 2025. This will help to equip people with the resources to prepare for employment and leadership opportunities, motivate employers to hire, support and promote diverse and inclusive workforces, and increase awareness about the low rate of employment for adults with autism, intellectual and/or developmental differences and challenge the public to advocate for inclusion and equity.

It is because of Cliffy that I am walking to raise funds for the mission of Autism Speaks - to fuel innovative research and make connections to critical lifelong supports and services for the autism community. I strongly urge you to be an Autism Ally! If you feel so inclined, please consider donating to support Cliffy and other members of the autistic community. Any support is greatly appreciated, thank you!!
