On April 17, 2005, I completed the George Wodicka Hook Mountain half-marathon (13.1 miles) at Rockland Lake in Congers. I dedicated the race to help individuals who are affected by Autism. I have combated my autism all my life and completing this race proved that I am winning the battle. It was the best day of my life! At 13 years old I was the youngest person to finish the race!
