About Dolly.
Dahlia Cortese is a sassy three and a half year old who loves to laugh, dance, watch Peppa Pig, and finds the joy in creating amazing patterns with anything that she can build. She is tenacious yet soft and sincere. She speaks her own language yet can quote entire movies and songs. She may be young, but it is quite evident that she is extremely insightful.
Besides working on all of Dolly's occupational, behavioral, and developmental therapies, we as a family work towards helping Dolly find her own place in this world, help to find her own voice, and find a sense of appreciation for all the things that make her unique and wonderful.
By doing this walk, we hope to accomplish so much more than raising funds. We hope to open the dialogue with family and friends who want to learn about autism and how it effects the lives of people who live it. We want to make a change in this world by supporting and advocating for neurodiversity. We want to support our beautiful, strong, and amazing daughter and walk along side her as she paves her own way. We are team Guys and Dolly's. We are team Dahlia.
