Meet Leo — my sweet 6-year-old boy who was medically diagnosed with autism when he was just 3 years old.

Leo is my inspiration to become the best version of myself, not only for him, but for me too. Every single day he teaches me something new about living in the moment and appreciating the little things that so many of us overlook. Leo knows no evil, just lives in his own world full of happiness. We could all be more like Leo .

The very best part of my day is when Leo wakes up. Despite the challenges he faces, he greets the world with a smile that reminds me how powerful joy and resilience can be. I am so blessed to call him my son.

I’m incredibly grateful that I’m able to afford therapy and support for Leo. But the reality is that many families and children on the autism spectrum don’t have access to the care they need —

That’s why I’m walking in this 5K to raise money for autism support and resources.

Whether you donate $1, $2, $5, for every mile I walk, or even $500 — every single contribution makes a difference and helps more children get the care, therapy, and opportunities they deserve.

Thank you for helping us create a world with more understanding, support, and love for kids like Leo.
