Today, more than 70 million children and adults worldwide are affected by autism.

Thanks to the dedicated support of people like us, Autism Speaks continues its vital mission. Providing advocacy, support, and resources for individuals and families affected by autism.

Each year, the Autism Response Team personally assists tens of thousands of individuals seeking guidance, while over one million people access Autism Speaks' free, nationwide services and resources.

They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

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, love and kindness.

With Love and Gratitude,
