Why I Team Up! with Autism Speaks

August 6, 2012 By D Marie 10 Comments

**  Updated February 25th, 2015 for the 10th anniversary of Autism Speaks Running with my boy in tow.

January 12, 2012 By D Marie 26 Comments

So this is what the other side of 50 looks like.  After spending the first half of life as a buttoned up professional, I have more recently been spending my time searching Etsy for "tutus" and googling "fairy makeup tricks".  Perhaps I can blame this phenomenon on a mid-life crisis, but I prefer to blame it on runDisney- and my son.  He is the reason I am this way!  When Kyle came to me over a year ago, asking to go to Walt Disney World, it came with a new twist.  Could we run around Epcot before it opened?  Could … [Read more...]
