My Story…
I’m doing something I always swore I would never do. I am running a full marathon, and it’s on my birthday! When I registered I signed up in a charity spot. Now I need the help of my Facebook friends. I’m hoping to raise money for autism research. Everyone knows that my sweet boy Quinn has Down syndrome. A few years ago he was also diagnosed with autism. I hope my friends and family can help me reach my goal of raising $500 for the Organization of Autism Research, for my Mighty Quinn.
Description
Please help support me by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance the Organization for Autism Research's great cause!
