Guys!!!! I am running the 2023 Berlin Marathon on behalf of the Organization for Autism Research, as part of the Run for Autism team.

Autism is one of many neurodiverse diagnoses that affects how people absorb and process the world around them, and those with autism have a tremendous amount to contribute to the world in ways we are just beginning to harness.

So, I'm fundraising! I'm aiming to raise at least $2,500. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause.


WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 36 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.
