Photo by Tessa Walsh Jeffery Korth shared that Autism is like a puzzle piece, it can be mysterious and not everyone understands how it fits together, so the shirts had this puzzle piece on it to represent that.

Photo by Tessa Walsh Conner Bos helped to organize the event and drew in many volunteers. Here he can be seen giving some directions prior to the run.

Photo by Tessa Walsh “I came up with this idea last year [as] a way raise awareness for Autism because April is Autism awareness month and I am personal effected by it and my family. I personally have high-functioning Autism and I just really wanted to do something that would give back to those who are much more severe on the spectrum than I am. I just really enjoy the fact that people are willing to come out here and help raise awareness for Autism, because that’s really all this is about, raising awareness and having a good time. I really enjoy doing this and I hope to continue as the years come by.”—Jeffery Korth
