Today is another one of my 30-something birthdays. And not one of the earlier ones -- haha!
I have so much to celebrate. What an amazing year it has been! God has lavished SO MANY blessings on me and my cup is overflowing. I wanted to take a second to thank all of my close friends and family for how supportive you have been through this past year of crazy change. It's been a wild ride, but I know God is good, He is my provider, and I have so much to look forward to this coming year and beyond.
Today I am donating my birthday to autism research. As many of you know, I lead a team that walks every year in early October to raise awareness for autism and money towards finding the cause and cure to this rapidly growing epidemic. I have two amazing nephews who have autism. Noah is 15 and Elijah is 13. They are SO special to me. Noah has moderate autism and Elijah is severe. They both have unique challenges, but Elijah is still non-verbal. We continue to work toward solutions to improve their quality of life and also to impact this world to make it a better place for children who will be growing up with autism in the generations to come. Hopefully we can learn so much more about the causes behind it that we are even able to bring an end to it. I believe that is possible!
On Saturday my team will be walking for autism for the 9th year in a row to raise money that will go directly to research studies that will be conducted by ASU this year. The ASU research team is leading the nation in its studies of the bio-medical causes and treatments of autism and we've already seen the money we have raised in past years impact lives -- even the lives of my nephews! I'm so excited to walk again this year and see the changes we can make! If you would like to donate a little something to help us reach our goal in honor of my birthday, I would really appreciate it! Our big-hairy-audacious-goal this year is to raise $10,000 and we currently have raised over $7,500! So exciting that we are getting close!
