My Story…
I am running to support autism research and to provide support for those affected by this spectrum disorder. As a proud parent of a child who has autism and being friends with families who have children with autism, I understand the challenges and needs of the community first hand. I take pride in raising money for this group and the community that they support.
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!
