A MESSAGE FROM Andie's Fundraising Page
Dear Family & Friends,
This year I am focusing my fundraising efforts toward a new cause that is near & dear to our hearts. On May 19, 2018, Steve & I will join the entire Philadelphia Eagles organization and thousands of Philadelphia area residents who will ride, run or walk to raise funds for innovative research and programs to help unlock the mystery of autism. 100% of participant-raised funds will go directly towards autism research and programs at a coalition of leading institutions including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Drexel University and Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental condition and its causes are not fully understood. Since it was first described 75 years ago, its prevalence has skyrocketed across the world. Data suggests that 1 in 68 children are on the Autism Spectrum. Usually appearing in the first three years of life, one can experience verbal and non-verbal communication challenges, along with difficulties in the areas of social interactions and cognitive functions.
I need your support to reach my goal and assist those currently affected as well as future generations.
Thank you!
Andie
