Hi friends and family-

I’m running the NYC half marathon on March 15th. I’ve developed such a passion for running since I can do it anywhere and it truly helps clear my head in a world that moves so quickly.

I’m raising funds for the Organization for Autism Research (OAR). Education about Autism is near and dear to my heart.

People need to be more understanding of these unique individuals, learn from them and inspire others to continue to be inclusive. It's quite challenging for someone with autism to navigate through their every day.

“I would not change you for anything in this world, but I would change the world for you.” - Parent of a child with autism

I respectfully ask for your support. I’m honored to be fundraising for an organization that strives to educate the typical population. Knowledge bridges the gaps that divide us. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some 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.
$30,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
