My Story…
I’m running a special 5K this year to support individuals with autism—something very close to my heart. A beloved member of my family is on the spectrum, and I’ve seen firsthand both the beauty and the challenges that come with it. I'm hoping to raise funds for research and support services that empower these amazing individuals to thrive. Any contribution—big or small—means the world. Thank you for helping make a difference.
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!
