Hello, my name is Rebekah! I am an Ohio native and pediatric social worker who supports children with complex health conditions. Disney World is my "home" and I love sharing the magic with my family.
I am thrilled to be participating in my first runDisney event and first half marathon!
Every Mile Will Be Worth My While
I am a parent to an incredible boy who is autistic. I have experienced firsthand some of the challenges and barriers that many families of autistic individuals may encounter when advocating for inclusion and acceptance. I have also witnessed the incredible ways neurodivergent minds can percieve the world and how much impact creating opportunity to thrive can have! I have learned so much from being August's mother and he is my motivation behind everything meaningful that I do in life. I will be carrying him with me in my heart through every step of my training and race day.
I strive to stand alongside every parent and family member determined to see thier loved ones flourish. I have been intentional in selecting a charity that promotes inclusion, empowerment, and direct support for members of the autistic community. I am honored to be participating in my runDisney half marathon as a team member for Doug Flutie Jr Foundation For Autism.
I invite you join my journey of reaching the finish line this November by contributing to my fundraising goals and sharing the magic of Disney.
