I am running a marathon (26.2 miles) in each of the 50 states in an effort to raise autism awareness and funds for the Organization for Autism Research (OAR). I chose OAR because my nephew has autism. While running 50 marathons may seem difficult to many, it's nothing compared to the challenges that those with autism face and overcome on a daily basis.
