I am excited to be a part of Team Arc in the Flutie 5K for Autism this October in Natick. This event brings people together to celebrate and support the autism community, while raising funds that help families thrive.

For me, this is personal. As a parent of an autistic young adult and as someone who works every day to make schools, arts organizations, and healthcare settings more inclusive, I believe strongly in the power of community. Autism has shaped my life and my work in ways that continue to teach me about resilience, creativity, and what it means to belong.

Walking this 5K is one small way I can show up for that vision of belonging. I hope you will join me by supporting my efforts. Your encouragement means a lot, and together we can help create a world where every autistic person is valued and welcomed.
