A MESSAGE FROM Rebecca
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.
As many of you know, my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and until a year and a half ago was considered non-verbal. Every day he amazes me at what he is capable of and how far he has come. Without the early intervention and therapies, he would not be reaching the milestones he is accomplishing. What many do not know, is that my daughter was also diagnosed at age 7 with autism. Research is key to continuing to solve the mystery of autism in what is the cause, how to better help those diagnosed, and how autism affects boys and girls differently.
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!
