This cause is deeply personal to me. I am raising funds and walking in support of autism because it has touched my life in so many meaningful ways. Members of my own family, close friends, and their children live every day navigating the unique challenges and triumphs that come with autism. Their strength, resilience, and brilliance continue to inspire me.

As an educator, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless students on the autism spectrum. Each one has left an imprint on my heart. Their creativity, honesty, and perspective have enriched my life and my teaching in ways I can’t fully put into words. I've seen firsthand how early intervention, supportive communities, and accessible resources can make a life-changing difference.

This walk is more than just an event—it's a statement of love, inclusion, and hope. By participating in this 5K, I’m not only honoring the incredible individuals in my life, but also helping to fund innovative solutions and services that empower individuals with autism today and into the future.

I hope you’ll support me in this mission. Whether by walking alongside me, making a donation, or spreading awareness, your support matters.

Together, we can build a world that sees, supports, and celebrates the full potential of every person with autism.

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!
