Help Jacob raise money

For participating in 2024 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Jake is in second grade and is running for Autism in this years kids marathon. His cousin (our nephew) was diagnosed as non verbal at an early age. He's our favorite little wild man 🥰 and why he's chosen this charity to run for.

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!
