Help Sharon raise money

For participating in 2022 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

This year, I'm running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon May 1 in honor of my buddy Joseph so let me tell you a little about him.  Joseph loves music and he loves to rock--Bob Seger and Guns N Roses are heavy in his playlist. He also loves to roll and ride his ATV!  Over the years, I've learned so many things from Joseph-like how to live in the in the moment and if you love doing anything do it as often and as many times as you can!  He's also taught me that joy and wonder can be found where you least expect it, like in the leaves of a tree or by looking deep in a loved ones eyes.  So many things and this is my way of giving back to him.  It's my hope that through research, we'll learn so much more from Joseph and others like him while making their lives better. Organization for Autism Research is a 4 star nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of everyone on the spectrum by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results.  I would be extremely grateful if you helped me reach my $400 goal and donated to my fundraising efforts.  All donations are tax deductible and go towards a great cause.  Every bit makes a difference, no matter how big or small. Thank you in advance for your support. Sharon
