I’m running the NYC Marathon on behalf of the Organization for Autism Research, and this one is deeply personal 💙
My 5-year-old daughter is autistic. She is incredibly intelligent and over the past year has slowly found her voice, using short word sentences through her AAC device, along with sign language. Watching her grow and find her voice is why i’m running for her, and for so many other families navigating autism.
1 in 31 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. Every dollar raised helps fund research and resources that support children like my daughter today.
If you’re able to donate or share, it truly means so much to us 💙
