Most of you already know that Autism Awareness is an important cause near and dear to my heart. Our Johnny was diagnosed in Feb. 2010 and its been a long, bumpy, but rewarding road since. He is hitting milestones and making amazing progress every day. I can't believe he will going into high school this September! I believe Early intervention and getting him involved in different organizations played a huge role with his success. Elwyn, Kencrest, SPIN, St. Joe's Kinney Center, and Holy Terror STARS are among the top programs we were involved with. On May 16, 2020, I will join the entire organization and thousands of others from the community to run or walk in the Eagles Autism Challenge. This event is dedicated to raising funds for innovative research and programs to address the complex issues presented by the condition of autism. By providing the necessary resources to thought leaders, we can advance scientific breakthroughs. All participant-raised funds, 100 %, will go directly towards autism research and/or programs at beneficiary partners, as together we shift from autism awareness to action. I hope you will consider making a donation towards my fundraising goal to help transform the lives of those affected by autism today and tomorrow.
