Hey everyone, thank you for taking the time to check out our fundraising page. This campaign was inspired by my buddy Colton. Over the last year our families have grown close and I can't help but be blown away by just how awesome this kid is. The world through his eyes is so unique and we are so lucky to have the chance to get to know him. There are kids all over the world just like him who could greatly benefit from these funds for additional research and we hope you could help aid in that goal. So either donate whatever amount you can, or share the campaign and we'll keep you updated for any future events or happenings in Colton's world!

WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
