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 Organization for Autism Research's great cause! 


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 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.

The bagel has ARRIVED!

tl;dr: Donate to support autism awareness and acceptance and I'll run the New York Marathon dressed as a bagel 🥯 If you know me, you know that I'm one blaring Autism Alert. Random info-dumps on Turkic (and now Finnic) morphology? I'm your gal. Me sharing "fun facts" that likely few others care about? Sure. Spending lunches in high school picking away at my food in the locker room or in the library? Yeah, well.... I run the New York Marathon each year as an altruist fundraiser for the Organization for Autism Research. Rather than trying to "cure" autism, the group works for acceptance and understanding. Whether through training programs for schools and local government organizations or its Hire Autism job board, OAR makes the world a bit better for offbeat people like me. If I hit my goal of $250 by October 24, my husband Matthew's birthday and United Nations Day, I'll run the marathon dressed as a bagel with cream cheese. See? Being a little "weird" can pay off for the greater good.
