Help Emidio raise money

As many of you know I have two awesome, courageous, and loving boys John Paul and Joey, who both have a diagnosis of Autism.  They are one of the reasons I wake up every morning at 3am and run.  I try to be be better everyday because of them.

You’ve probably seen the bumper stickers, Facebook posts and the t-shirts calling for “Autism Awareness.” But as parents of children on the Autism Spectrum continually insist, our society is aware of autism. It’s autism acceptance that we need.  To become a more inclusive society will take advancements in access to services, affordable health care, employment opportunities, Health Care expansion, fair pay, and more opportunities for quality education. 

I am running for Autism Speaks because this charity:

Increases global understanding & acceptance of people with autism

It is a catalyst for life-enhancing research breakthroughs

This organization helps to Increase early childhood screening & timely interventions

It Improves the transition to adulthood

Ensuring access to reliable information & services throughout the life span
