As many of you know I’ve recently got into the whole running thing, so I decided to sign up for the NYC Marathon this November, my first full marathon. I am teaming up with Organization for Autism Research (OAR). An amazing organization who strive to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers.
As many people who care for or know a child with any disability will know there is no set handbook, no one size fits all, and every child is different and come with their own needs that deserve to be met in order for them to not only reach their full potential, but for them to be happy, content, and safe regardless of their environment and for parents with children with disabilities to know theirs child is understood even when that family member is not around.
So go on and donate a few dollars or so to this amazing organization and watch me run 26.2 miles this November!!
Thanks in advance for any donation made!!!

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!
