Hi Friends and Family!!
I did something crazy and signed up to run the New York City Marathon this year (my first full marathon)! I am so excited and nervous, but I figured the best way to motivate myself was to do it in honor of a cause close to my heart (Autism awareness and research). This fall I will begin my first year of teaching in an elementary school. One of the amazing things the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) does is provide general education teachers with curriculum boxes to support their growth and ability to support special education students.

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 44 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 (my fundraising goal!) provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college.
$40,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
