My Story…
Hi! My name is Emie and I will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 3rd to support the Organization for Autism Research.
This will be my second full marathon, and I wanted to approach it with a specific goal in mind. To run for a worthy cause that is close to my heart. I have worked as a pediatric speech therapist for 16 years, helping children on the autism spectrum improve their communication and connect with the world around them. I have joined the RUN FOR AUTISM team in honor of the children and families it has been my privilege to serve. My goal is to raise $500 for autism research, that’s about $19 per mile I’ll be racing this May!
Organization for Autism Research is a 4-star nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by autism, by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results. They also provide free, evidence-based resources and information to families, educators, self-advocates, and professionals geared towards making day-to-day life easy for those affected by autism.
I would be extremely grateful if you helped me reach my goal and donated to my fundraising efforts.
Every bit makes a difference, no matter how big or small.
Thank you in advance for your support!
