My Story…
Hi everyone!
I am participating in the Bluenose Marathon weekend with Lauren's after school program, Playing and Learning Together (PLT). I cannot say enough about this organization. It is a one of a kind program that helps support children and youth living with autism. As you know, Lauren's autism is severe and she is unable to participate in organized recreational activities. PLT is the only organization who offers year round programming and opportunities for her and many of her peers. It is a place where participants truly feel like they can be themselves and where they are accepted and understood. Not to mention, they have tons of fun with the incredible group of professionals who dedicate their time to the participants, and by extension, their families. If you are looking to support an incredible organization, please consider donating to Playing and Learning Together.
Thank you so much,
Meg :)
