Welcome to the #GETHYPE NYC Marathon 2021 contributions page. Here I will ask you to take in some of the important information about Autism and find in your heart to help support the millions of adults and children that deal with Autism.

Please help me support Organization for Autism Research by making a contribution to my fundraiser in honor of my grandson Jaxon B. Speights and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!

This cause is very important to me as my grandson is on the spectrum of Autism and has great support in his school system. These services prove to be a great help and assistance to our family in supporting Jaxon and his needs. I ask for you to really look at the benefits and help me in my run to raise money for this cause.

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!
