Hi!

My name is Ted Hack and I will be participating the International Distance Life Time Chicago Triathlon, Sunday, August 26th.  This will be both my first triathlon and event participating as a member of the Tri For Autism team.  With your donation you will not only provide support to me as I strive to accomplish the personal goal of completing my first triathlon, but also help a fantastic organization in the process.  Below is a quick synopsis of what the Organization for Autism Research is all about:

Organization for Autism Research’s singular focus is in the area of applied research, which OAR defines as research that directly impacts the day-to-day quality of life of learners with autism. OAR’s continuing goal is to promote practices from evidence-based research. OAR funds research pilot studies that examine issues affecting children and adults with autism spectrum disorders as well as their parents, families, teachers, and service providers.

To find out more about OAR, I encourage you to visit their site: http://www.researchautism.org/

Thank you so much for your help!
