Running the New York City Marathon is a journey of 26.2 miles, but the journey my son navigates every day with autism is what inspires me to cross this finish line. I am proudly running for NEXT For Autism, an organization dedicated to maximizing the potential of individuals through every stage of life. As a father, I see firsthand that the need for support doesn't end in childhood; it requires a lifelong commitment to community integration and a robust system of care that grows alongside them. Every mile I run is dedicated to my son and to ensuring that families have access to the expertise and services they need at every age. Please donate today to help us build a world where individuals with autism have the resources to thrive, today and for a lifetime.
