When my son, Bailey, was 7 years old he was given an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) diagnosis.
He is now 22 years old. Things have changed a lot in the 15 years since I first learned what Autism was.
Parents, doctors and educators have so many more resources at their disposal to navigate the world of ASD for their children, patients and students.
I truly believe if more research had been done earlier, we would have known how to help our son before he was 7.

I choose to run with OAR because I believe they’re making a difference in the lives of millions of families just like mine. I want to know they’ll be able to continue their research and outreach programs for years to come.

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?
