"I run to honor my son Will and to share experiences with other families affected by autism. I run to increase understanding and acceptance of Autism."

      -Sharon Zackula, Will Lash Dream Team

Join us by running or walking the Autism Speaks Potomac 5K on July 4th to show your support for people with autism. Your fundraising efforts will empower our work to promote solutions for the needs of people with autism and their families and will support our continued commitment to create a kinder, more inclusive world.

And what’s a race without some great swag? By signing up for the Autism Speaks Potomac 5K, you will receive this one-of-a-kind t-shirt and medal featuring a spectrum of colors signifying the diversity of perspectives and experiences of people with autism.

We can’t wait to see you on race day!
