Our story…
Parker is back at it again! On Sunday, June 12th, for his second year in a row, our little champion is going to be running 1km in the Virtual Scotiabank Half Marathon to raise funds for Autism BC. As many of you will remember, Parker ran his very first race last year and it was one of the happiest days of his life. Last year Parker and his team managed to raise over $2500 for a cause dear to our hearts, and we can't wait to see how much we can raise this year!
If you know Parker, you are probably aware that he is not only the coolest, funniest, sweetest kid ever, and he is also Autistic. We have chosen to run for Autism BC once again, as it is an organization that has supported our family and thousands more just like us. Autism BC provides countless resources to Autistic individuals and their families, from social support groups to community events and informative training courses. They advocate hard and provide a voice for the Autistic community. These are just a few of the reasons why we feel the need to give back to Autism BC.
We are so excited to run with Parker and cheer him on at that finish line again as he pounds the pavement for an awesome cause! Go Parker, Go!!
Description
Join our team and help raise funds for AutismBC to support the autism community in BC!
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 small, non-profit and registered charity that encourages the inclusion and acceptance of the entire autism community. We are a tight-knit and nimble organization that values the lived experience of our team and members. We prioritize listening to our members and making decisions that reflect their needs and wants. We are a grassroots organization founded in 1975 to support people on the autism spectrum and their families. Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to become one of the most trusted non-profit organizations for autism in BC. We continue to support autistic individuals by providing parents and communities with knowledge and by engaging with people on the autism spectrum to create stronger, more diverse communities.
Create your own peer-to-peer fundraising page where you can tell your personal story and ask for support. Join our team on run day or run, walk, roll, or ride anywhere in BC on your own route between May 26 & June 26. Funds raised goes to AutismBC to fund programs.
