Number 18 for Autism

April is Autism Awareness month so I thought it fitting to dedicate my 18th marathon taking place this April to raising support and awareness for the Autism Society.

As most of you know, I have set this insane goal to run a marathon in everystate, and this April I will attempt my 18th marathon in Louisville, Kentucky.  Please help me in supporting the Austism Society, which is dedicated to helping those affected by autism and also to helping those of us who haven't personally experienced autism first hand, gain a better understanding of the condition. I have been inspired by a close friend whose son has autism. I am always in awe of the challenges she and her family face daily, and how they face these challenges with humor and love. Running a marathon seems easy in comparison.

Please help me reach my goal as I finish up my last month of training (and continue training throughout April for number 19 in Rhode Island) by donating to my cause!  To find out more, visit http://www.autism-society.org.  Any amount small or large is appreciated!
