I have had the honor of volunteering for Autism Speaks for over 15 years. Initially motivated by being a parent of a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, I walk today to honor her and the countless people who have supported her growth throughout the years, including so many from Autism Speaks. I walk now to support the many other Mamas and Papas who have children or other loved ones on the Spectrum. I walk today, so that someday, none of us will have to!

I am grateful to those of you who have supported my teams through the years. Autism Speaks continues to move forward in its efforts to facilitate resources and research for the Autism community. As we find our way through and past the obstacles of COVID, Autism Speaks is working to meet the challenges of inclusivity and diversity for the Autistic community. But, in these difficult times, Autism Speaks needs YOU!

Please support our 2022 Westchester County/Greater Hudson Valley Autism Speaks Walk by making a donation, and/or joining THE MAMA BEARS, now!
