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! 

I'm planning to run the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon by fundraising for this amazing group! This year, I'll be 30 and I want to run a marathon for this milestone year! My mom ran this marathon, and I'd love to run the same course she did while she cheers me on! This amazing organization was supportive when my sister ran the 2021 Chicago Marathon, and they were also so welcoming of me the morning of! Let's see if we can meet and exceed the goal of $3,000 before the month of November!

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 provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college.
$40,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
