On Saturday, March 25, 2017, our team will join the thousands of SUPERHEROES at the 13th annual Race for Autism in Balboa Park. It’s going to be “Super!”
As you know, this cause is very dear to me. Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the US today, and over 19,000 individuals right here in San Diego. One of those children is our son, Jack. When he got diagnosed at the age of 3, we were overwhelmed with the uncertainty of the future. He began receiving speech therapy, ABA therapy, occupational therapy and taking social skills classes. Phil and I have taken parent training courses to better help him communicate at home and out in the community. He has made huge gains over the past year and a half due to all the amazing services and therapists who have been a part of this journey with us.
We have been to countless doctors appointments, assessments, evaluations, meetings with the school district, regional center, Kaiser, Rady's Children's Hospital, and more to help Jack receive the best care possible. Every family dealing with autism deserves these services.
100% of the dollars we raise stays in San Diego to help our community, providing funding for autism treatment programs, vocational training for young adults, parent programs, educational workshops, and funding to hundreds of local classrooms. The funds raised at the Race benefit thousands of San Diego children and families each year.
Every dollar truly makes a difference at improving the learning, social and employment opportunities for our children. Please join our team and give as generously as you can. Your support is greatly appreciated!
