Most of you will probably think I have gone crazy, but this is the year Tricon Energy is celebrating 20 years and I have decided to run the 2016 London Marathon on April 24th, as part of RUN FOR AUTISM through OAR (Organization for Austism Research)
I would not classify myself as a long distance runner, but inspired by the efforts of my colleagues at Tricon Cares I decided to join the London Marathon and support the terrific work OAR Organization for Autism Research as one of the events to celebrate Tricon 20 years in business.
I hope that trough my commitment, the celebration of our company terrific milestone and your support, we can help raise some serious funds for the foundation. My commitment is to do a minimum of $5,000….but let’s not be shy and please help me with as much as you can; the cause is exceptional and the balance of effort vs results is well worth it.
Working together, we will find the missing pieces of the Autism puzzle!!!

Did you know:
- Autism now affects 1 in 68 children
- Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the U.S.
- Autism costs a family $60,000 a year on average
- There is no medical detection or cure for autism
Families affected by autism continually have to fight for their children by searching for treatment and resources, educating themselves about this condition and spreading information to teachers, peers and other stakeholders. OAR (Organization for Autism Research) takes over a piece of this burden for families. 83 cents of every dollar raised funds innovative research to help families find answers to their most urgent questions.
Funds raised by the RUN FOR AUTISM--2016 London Marathon team will support the Organization for Autism Research (OAR). OAR funds research and programs that help parents, families, and educators in the autism community on a daily basis. To learn more, visit www.researchautism.org.
I hope I can count on you to support my marathon run by contributing to OAR!
