For the 17th year, my family and I will be participating in the ARC of Essex County's Building Tomorrows 5K Run/2-Mile Walk! This year's event will be held on April 26 in West Orange, NJ.

This is the 27th annual run/walk. All money raised benefits children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, and other intellectual and developmental disabilities and directly benefits my brother, Stephen, who is currently in an adult day program. Thank you to all who have donated in the past to this great cause. Team D'Uva has been a top fundraiser for many years thanks to the overwhelming support we have received!
