Dear John,

“Ni neart go cur le cheile.” There is no strength without unity. This Gaelic expression perfectly captures how I feel about the mission of Autism Speaks.

My wife, Christina, and I have been with the Autism Speaks family from the beginning, believing in the vision of a single organization harnessing the commitment and generosity of our families to make our world brighter. As our son, Liam, transitions into adulthood, Autism Speaks is as important to us today as it was 15 years ago. The mission to promote solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, through research, advocacy, services and supports is making a difference for so many.

That’s why I want your generosity to go twice as far to help twice as many people on the spectrum, like Liam, live a brighter life. I am committing to DOUBLE your gift, up to $50,000, before midnight tonight.

We’ve made so much progress, but there is still so much to be done. I know that together, we can meet the challenge.

With gratitude,
Adrian Jones
Vice Chairman, Autism Speaks Board of Directors
