This is the 2nd year I will be running the Boston Marathon on April 19 to raise money for children with Autism. I will be running FOR JAKE'S SAKE, a 501(c)3 non-profit, which helps families in need of assistance to provide therapies for their children with autism.
Children like Jake make progress and succeed with the help of certain therapies, which schools and health insurance companies may not provide. For Jake’s Sake was created to raise money and provide the ability for autistic children in Massachusetts to access effective therapies they otherwise could not afford. Children with autism need certain therapies to overcome their symptoms, yet schools and health insurance providers may not provide access or adequate services to meet the child’s needs. We will provide qualifying families the funding to obtain effective therapy - because every child deserves the chance to realize their full potential.
