00:00 I love to run. I started running in middle school. In high school I ran for three years.

00:27 My best mile was a 5.09. My best two-mile was a 11.15. And my best 5k in cross-country

00:35 was 18.17.

00:40 When we first got the diagnosis of autism, my approach was, "How am I going to fix this?"

00:46 I guess I was kind of sad. You know, when you hear the diagnosis of autism, all kinds

00:50 of things go through your mind.

00:51 What am I going to do to help my boy so that he's happy and he's strong, that he can

00:56 do the things that all the other kids are doing?

01:02 The visions I had of going out and playing catch with my son, I didn't know what it

01:06 was going to be like.

01:10 All during his senior year, he really wanted to run a marathon. He kept asking me, "Mom,

01:17 I want to run farther. Two miles is just not enough. 5k is just not enough. I want to do

01:23 bigger races."

01:28 As we were walking away from the graduation ceremony, he turned to me and said, "Mom,

01:33 before my 20th birthday, I'm going to run a 100-mile race."
