Dear Friends and Family,

 

Last year I had an incredible experience running the marine corps marathon (MCM) with the Autism Speaks team in support of Kameron and every person touched by autism.  My theme was "I will fight your fight", and I pushed through every mile knowing that running a marathon must be easy compared to the struggles of a child with autism. I thought it would be my only marathon, but crossing that finish line was so empowering, and I am back again and running to support a local organization started right here in Arlington, VA, the Organization for Autism Research.  This is an incredible organization that has a commitment to Hire Autism, an initiative to forge bonds and build programs with companies with the goal to help those affected by autism get good jobs with companies that can see the exceptional nature of these indivivuals, but also respect the accomodations that some may need.  I know my son has incredible strengths and I want him to have great opportunities in his future!  Please consider supporting me as "I will fight your fight" and run my heart out for Kam and every person touched by autism!

 

With Sincere Gratitude,

Katherine
