In 2017 my son Alex was diagnosed with Autism (PPD -NOS) at the age of 7.  Alex's biggest struggles are with social skills and sensory.  Now in 3rd grade with the help of social classes, and speech therapy Alex continues to excel and progress.   On May 18, 2019 I will join the entire organization and thousands of others from the community to ride, 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. Thank you!
