Aloha! 🌺

I'm Jo and this is what you should know about this journey..It all started with a bet and now, one year of mental training and a couple of half-marathons later, it became commitment!

What makes this experience better, is that I got the chance to help advance the Organization for Autism Research's great cause and be part of the RUN FOR AUTISM team. Join me by contributing to my fundraiser in any way (:

See you at the Finish line! 🤙

P.S. I will try to upload some pictures along the way so stay tuned!

WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. By joining the RUN FOR AUTISM team, you’re supporting OAR’s mission to fund research and resources that help people with autism and their families today.


Here are some of the ways that OAR uses the funds raised by the RUN FOR AUTISM team:

$10 provides a Curriculum in a Box professional development set to general education teachers.
$25 provides 15 copies of A Guide to Safety to families and first responders.
$100 provides the Kit for Kids peer education resource to an entire elementary or middle school.
$150 provides 100 copies of a Life Journey through Autism guidebook sent to a community support group or military installation.
$1,000 provides a research grant for a graduate student studying autism.
$3,000 provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college.
$40,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
