My personal message:

I am running a marathon 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 Johnny 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.

32 of the 50 states completed
