Figured if we are going to be miserable for 26.2 miles we should make it worth it and raise money for a great cause!

Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!


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:

$1,000 provides a research grant for a graduate student studying autism (my goal of $1500 would cover this!)
$3,000 provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college (if my sister and I both hit our fundraising goals we can fund this!)
$50,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
