My cousin, Tyler, has autism. He doesn't say much, but he loves Santa Claus, amusement rides and the pool. He is 21 yrs old now and will be leaving school, which will be a very difficult transition for him, just like many other who have autism. Unfortunately, even though the autism rate is 1 in 59 children and rising, there are not a lot of programs to ease the rocky move from adolescence to adulthood for those on the autism spectrum. So, on May 19, 2018 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 those with 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. I would appreciate your support to reach my goal and assist those currently affected as well as future generations. Please donate, Thank you! Carly
