My name is Evan and I am 5 years old.  I have autism but it does not define who I am, it's just another facet of myself which makes me ausome, fun and loving.  I dream of a world where I won't be judged by my diagnosis or shortcomings but instead by my character and personality. Being a part of this run/walk event will help me raise awareness and help fight for inclusion for all individuals with autism and special needs so that they can live, learn and play in a world without discrimination and intolerance from others who may not understand the daily struggles that we go through. 

Thank you for taking the time to listen and read my story.
