Welcome to my Marathon Fundraising page! Autism is something that I hold near and dear to my heart. I worked at Camp Anchor on Long Island for 8 summers where I worked with children and adults that have autism. Chances are you know someone that is affected by Autism and I am running with the Organization for Autism Research to help fund and raise awareness for OAR's great mission to fund research and resources to help people with Autism and their families.

I wanted to run for a purpose bigger than myself, some of the best people in my life have autism and they have done more for me than I could have ever done for them. One small donation can help someone or a family in need of resources and research.

Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause! 


WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?

$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.
