Who likes marathons? This guy! Who likes running marathons with friends? Also this guy! Who likes running marathons with friends and then helping them fundraise for a cause they care about? You're getting the hang of this!

You can also help encourage this behavior on my part, and I don't care what is your motivation! Maybe it's because you like seeing photos of me suffering during or after a marathon. Maybe you want to help me get through my podcast backlog by running a long time. Or maybe you're a decent human being who likes the idea of supporting research in a climate where things are super weird for science right now!

OAR seems to be very well run with a strong rating from group like Charity Navigator and their Form 990 looks good too with a great ratio of administrative expenses to programming expenses. They also included some ideas of what donation dollars translate into:

$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.
