Our story…
We are running for Parker! If you know Parker, you know that he is an awesome dude without question. He is kind and caring, he loves to be silly and make people laugh, he is an incredible artist and he loves to ride his bike and play basketball with his Dad. Parker is also Autistic. He faces countless challenges every single day, and despite all of the difficulties that he experiences, he never lets any obstacle get in his way. He is one of the hardest working people you will ever meet and he is our family’s Superhero! He inspires us all every day to never give up and has taught us all that no matter how impossible some things may seem, there is always another way!
On June 6th Parker is running 1km in the Scotiabank Half Marathon to raise funds for Autism BC, an organization dear to our hearts. Autism BC provides countless supports for Autistic Individuals and their families. Parker is excited to hit the pavement for a great cause and we can’t wait to see him cross that finish line! Go Parker, go!
Description
Join our team and help raise funds for AutismBC to support the autism community in BC!
In British Columbia, 1 in 40 children has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis and there are approximately 60,000 children, youth, and adults on the spectrum.
AutismBC is a small, non-profit and registered charity that encourages the inclusion and acceptance of the entire autism community. We are a tight-knit and nimble organization that values the lived experience of our team and members. We prioritize listening to our members and making decisions that reflect their needs and wants. We are a grassroots organization founded in 1975 to support people on the autism spectrum and their families. Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to become one of the most trusted non-profit organizations for autism in BC. We continue to support autistic individuals by providing parents and communities with knowledge and by engaging with people on the autism spectrum to create stronger, more diverse communities.
Create your own peer-to-peer fundraising page where you can tell your personal story and ask for support. Join our team on run day or run, walk, roll, or ride anywhere in BC on your own route between June 2 & July 5. 100% of what you raise goes to AutismBC to fund programs.
When you sign up for the Charity Challenge for AutismBC they'll keep you motivated with weekly email fitness tips, fundraising ideas, and additional prizes for top fundraisers! In addition to the marathon organizer packages, when you raise $100 you will receive a $10 gift card from AutismBC!
Let's get moving!
