Our Mission
I am the father of Timmy who is profoundly autistic and I run to raise awareness and fund raise for the cause of autism. I have run in 8 states thus far because I believe this is my calling. I am a member of the National Organization of Autism Research (OAR) running team. OAR’s Run for Autism website currently features many runners, including myself, from our team at the 2015 Cleveland Marathon.
When Tim was diagnosed with autism, people would ask me “What is autism?” Today when I mention his disability, people nod and acknowledge that they have a grandson, son, neighbor’s child, etc., who is autistic. |
