Hello everyone! 🌟


I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be running the 2024 Chicago Marathon in support of autism research. As someone passionate about making a difference, I'm excited to combine my love for running with a cause very close to my heart. Together, let's raise funds to support vital research initiatives aimed at enhancing the lives of individuals and families affected by autism. Your support means the world to me, and every contribution, big or small, helps us move closer to a brighter future. Join me on this incredible journey towards positive change! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Let's make every step count! 🏃🏻‍♀️💙



WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. By giving a kind donation to 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.
