Hello Friends!

I'm so excited that my family and I are back for the MCM 10K this October to support the Organization for Autism Research (OAR), which helps people like my son Mikey. This year is even more special because, for the first time, the Kolcun kids are joining us in the run!

OAR does incredible work to provide resources, support, and research that directly benefits the autism community. Your support means so much to us and can make a real difference in the lives of those like Mikey.

Please consider making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar raised will help OAR continue its amazing work. Together, we can make an impact!

Thank you for your support!

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.
$50,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
