In 2019, two friends and I set out to run the New York Marathon. However, as we all know, Covid happened, and our plans were put on hold. Six years later, after many life changes, I am ready to take on the challenge of running the NY Marathon once again. On a cold, crisp Christmas morning, I embarked on my training journey with Yvonne.
We have proudly joined the Run for Autism Team to raise funds for the Organization for Autism Research (OAR). This esteemed non-profit charity is dedicated to advancing research and providing support for day-to-day living, as well as facilitating the transition into adulthood and post-secondary education.
Running for a charity that holds personal meaning to me is paramount. I am undertaking this endeavor in honor of my son and daughter, both of whom are on the autism spectrum. This journey is a celebration of their unique character and qualities, and it is my privilege to support a cause that resonates with my values.
I am privileged to have four amazing people on our team: my running partner Yvonne Vuu, colleague Michael Vance, and his running partner, Sandra Goff.
I would be grateful if you could donate to my fundraising efforts. All donations are tax-deductible and go towards a great cause! Every bit makes a difference, no matter how big or small.
Thank you in advance for your support!
