Why AutismBC moves me...
Hi Everyone! Thanks for supporting me!! As you may all know, I started my career in the caring professions as a child care worker, working with people autism and advocating for full inclusion for neuro-diverse folks in schools and public parks and recreation facilities. I remain committed to these goals as does Autism BC, where I served on the Board in the early 1990s. As you probably also know, I suffered a stroke last year and have been working full time on my recovery. I can't run a half-marathon (yet) but I can run 5km thanks to my treatment team. Please support me in supporting Autism BC. Thanks
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 BC. Your 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!
