Please help me support Organization for Autism Research 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 have had the privilege of knowing and coaching a young man with autism along with his brother for over a decade. When I decided that I wanted to fundraise in the lead up to the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon and saw an organization that supports autism research, I knew it was the right one for me. This young man has inspired me and our entire community with his positive attitude and willingness to take on any challenge. Please join me in supporting an organization that aims to provide support for all those facing the challenges of autism.
