Hi John,

When you Race to a Kinder World, you’re helping to increase acceptance and understanding of people with autism. The support of Autism Speaks runners over the years has helped millions of people with autism and their families.

With the challenges of the past year our work to support people with autism and their families is more important than ever. But with your support, we’ll be here to provide the 1 in 54 children and the 1 in 45 adults on the spectrum with the resources, information and direct assistance they need.
