Long Island Empower Walk & 5K Run

Walk For James

As always, I am proud to be Team Captain of the Walk for James Team at this year’s Long Island Walk on October 13, 2024 at Jones Beach. This is our 18th year walking to raise funds for Autism Speaks. As you all know, the Walk for James team was created in the name of our nephew James. 

James has returned to his day program and is doing well.  When at home, he is continuing to shred papers, which is his favorite pastime!

We Walk for James and support Autism Speaks as they continue to advocate for federal and state policies that will increase community living options for adults with autism. That initiative has always been what we feel is the greatest need for the autism community, as Jerry and Joy grow older. Autism Speaks has consistently pushed funding for many of these programs and I am proud to be a part of this worthy cause and hope to raise money to help with these projects.

I am once again asking for your support. If you would like to join our Team or walk with us at Jones Beach on Oct 13th, please click Team link and join our Team. Otherwise, click on my personal link and make a donation today. We could not do this without the love and support of our family and friends and we are forever grateful!

Thank you so much!!
