Hello Everyone,

My name is Dana and I am a member of the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleading Squad. The Eagles Organization takes part in many community service activities and this cause is especially close to my heart, as my family has been directly impacted by autism.

My quest to participate and raise funds for this event is personal because of a special young man, named Sebastian. Sebastian is my cousin and one of the 68 children diagnosed with Autism. He is a loving and energetic young man with a contagious giggle that could make anyone smile. Sebastian faces many challenges each day, which includes his inability to verbally communicate. Being able to successfully participate and raise funds for this worthy cause, gives me great hope that I will be contributing to help improve the quality of life for individuals that are diagnosed with autism. 

My cheerleading teammates along with 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. 

I need your support to reach my goal and assist those currently affected as well as future generations. Every dollar counts!

*Update- Thank you everyone for YOUR love and support. I have reached my 4th goal of raising $700.00 and I am now setting a new goal of $800.00

Remember this donation is tax deductible.

Thank you.

Dana
