My Story…
I am an educator in the community and a mother to an 8 year old boy with special needs. I volunteer with Stepping Stones and am a Tee-Ball coach with The Miracle League! I am excited to be able to give back to a population of people I love so much while doing something that I enjoy!
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!
WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?

$150 - provides 100 copies of a Life Journey through Autism guidebook sent to a community support group or military installation.
