Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance the Organization for Autism Research's great cause! 

Hey, Family and friends!! This is an epic year, and I am proud to run with the Donnelly Running Club for Research for Autism. This race will be my third year completing 26.2 Miles and my first year making a full campaign commitment of $20,000 to support the Organization for Autism Research. As a Youth Leader, I have the privilege of serving these unique and special little humans, and they bring such joy to the ministry with their gifts. I want to make this year about them and for them!

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.

Here are some of the ways that OAR uses the funds raised by the RUN FOR AUTISM team:

- $10 provides general education teachers with a Curriculum in a Box professional development set.
- $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.
