Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each one has unique strengths, challenges, and incredible potential. For me, this mission is deeply personal ? my son, Kam, is on the autism spectrum. Every day, Kam faces challenges with determination and resilience, and we are so proud of the progress he continues to make. His journey has taught us the importance of acceptance, advocacy, and awareness.

Autism Speaks has been a powerful resource for families like ours. Each year, their Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of people seeking guidance, while more than one million individuals access their free nationwide services and resources. They also continue to fund research that brings us closer to personalized treatments and therapies that can truly change lives.

By supporting this fundraiser, you?re not only helping provide vital resources and services ? you?re also helping to raise awareness and advocate for a more inclusive world where children like Kam can thrive.

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, support families on their journeys, and make a meaningful difference in advocacy and acceptance.

Thank you so much for your support ? it means the world to me, to Kam, to our entire family and families like ours.
