I am excited to announce that I have been selected to run the 2024 TCS London Marathon with the Run for Autism Team! I am grateful to start my fundraising efforts in support of Organization for Autism Research (OAR)’s mission to fund research and resources that help people with autism and their families.

While this isn’t my first marathon, it is a dream of mine to run all six (6) of the Abbott World Marathon Majors; completing London will gain me my second star. I’m honored to have a chance to advance my long-term goal while raising money for such a cause that is near and dear to my heart.

The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) was created in December 2001 – the product of the shared vision and unique life experiences of OAR’s seven founders. Led by these parents and grandparents of autistic children and adults, OAR sets out to use applied science to answer questions that autistic individuals, their parents, families, teachers, and caregivers confront daily. I encourage you to read more about this wonderful organization here: researchautism.org

Your donation will help build acceptance, fund research, provide resources, and support the autism community to live better lives. Please consider donating today and help me cross the finish line in 2024!

All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
