Hello everyone, I’m Chris, and I’m walking for someone incredibly special—my 7-year-old daughter Bella. She’s bright, funny, and full of life, and she also happens to be on the autism spectrum. This cause isn’t just important to me—it’s personal.

When my daughter was diagnosed, our lives changed in so many ways—but one thing never did: my determination to make sure she has every opportunity to succeed and be understood. Autism doesn’t define her, but it is a part of her journey. Like so many families, we face challenges that can be overwhelming at times. That’s why I’m walking—to raise awareness, to fund research, and to support programs that give kids like my daughter the resources they deserve

Every step I take in this walk is for my daughter and for the millions of individuals and families who live with autism every day. Autism is not a limitation—it’s a different way of experiencing the world. But it also comes with challenges that require understanding, support, and research to make life better for those on the spectrum.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this journey. Every donation, no matter the amount, truly makes a difference.
