I am so excited to run the 2025 Chicago marathon in support of an amazing organization, Organization for Autism Research (OAR). As many of you know, I am an autism researcher and clinician, and have spent a lot of time studying ways to support autistic individuals in their communities, across the lifespan. OAR funds important research and community resources, and your donation will meaningfully impact people with autism and their families today.
Here are some of the ways that OAR will use funds we raise:
$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.
Thank you so much for your consideration and support. See you in Chicago!
