A MESSAGE FROM Sharon
In 2007, our oldest son was diagnosed with autism. Tommy spent much of his earlier years in therapy-occupational, physical, behavioral, and social. We spent countless hours researching the latest treatments on our own and often felt lost along the way- sometimes it seemed like we'd take a baby step forward only to take several steps backward the next week. But somehow, here we are, almost to his 18th Birthday and Tommy has come a long way. He is doing well in high school and has a dream of going to film school to become a film editor. Despite the strides he has taken, life will always come with its special challenges for Tommy and worries for those of us who love him.
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.
My sister Carol and I are looking forward to getting involved in this event. 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!
