Hi everyone! I’m excited to be running the 2025 Chicago Marathon with the Organization for Autism Research! In a time when funding for essential research is being cut and Autistic individuals are facing increasing challenges, I am passionate about raising both money and awareness to support this critical cause.

I would appreciate any donation towards this cause and my race! Here are some of the ways that OAR uses the funds raised:

$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.
