For participating in 2022 Vancouver Half Marathon

Why AutismBC moves me...

I found out I was autistic when I was seventeen and a half, which was a big discovery. It really impacted the way I view myself and the world around me, in a good way. I finally understood, had a word to explain this aspect of who I am. 

Since then, I've had many lovely interactions with AutismBC. They shared the game I made in grade twelve, an essay of sorts I wrote last year, and I've so appreciated the groups and events that they run. With all the support they provide to so many folks across the province, well, I really wanted to help support them some too. 

I thank you for any help you can provide for my fundraising efforts.

Description

Please support me as I participate in the Vancouver Half Marathon Charity Challenge to raise funds for AutismBC — an organization that really matters to me. In British Columbia, 1 in 37 children has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis and there are approximately 60,000 children, youth, and adults on the spectrum. AutismBC is a grassroots organization founded in 1975 to empower, support, and connect the autism community in BC. Since their humble beginnings, they have grown to become one of the most trusted non-profit organizations for autism in BCYour donation to my page will go towards helping AutismBC provide barrier-free social connections for BC kids, youth and families, workshops that promote supportive, inclusive communities, and information and resource lines that provide current timely information for people across the province. Thank you for supporting me and helping build a more inclusive society where people on the autism spectrum can live their best lives!
