My name is Jennifer and I am married to my wonderful husband Ben.  We have four boys who keep us on our toes.  Autism is a cause that is near and dear to our hearts.  In February of 2013 our second oldest son was diagnosed with Autism the day after his second birthday.  I know first hand the struggles that those dealing wtih Autism can face.  I enjoy running and have decided to make a goal of competing in an organized event at least once a month for 2017.  Whenever I am running or doing something that I feel challenged by I always remind myself that every single day is a struggle for my son and he never gives up.  He is my inspiration to keep going and never give up no matter how hard something may seem.  I am dedicating all of my races this year to the cause of Autism, and I hope to bring some awareness to the cause.
