I am SO excited to be running my second marathon this November in New York City and even more lucky to be running for such an incredible cause! Deciding to fundraise for Autism Research was the easiest decision, I knew I would be contributing to such valuable and meaningful research that would create true impact. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause! Your support means the world to me :)!!
WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 31 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.
If you're curious, 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.
If we reach my goal, we can provide a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college :') How exciting is that!
