Timothy is 12 years old and autistic. His journey began in 2013 when he attended the Philadelphia Eagles Huddle Up for Autism event. He became an Eagles fan for life. Just a few weeks later, he was assigned a new behavioral specialist who is also a football coach. He thought it would be a good experience for Timothy to play football. We spent months preparing him to be a part of the football team, and he is surpassing all of our expectations with his hard work, persistence, and dedication.
An Unforgettable and Undefeatable Season

Laney Brown 5K Run/Walk
Today was a first for both me and Timothy. We participated in our first 5K. It was a benefit in memory of a young cancer patient to help raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer. There were 750 people participating in the race. Timothy did really well. He had a few struggles with the crowds and with it being such a new experience, but overall, he did great. We did some running, some jogging, and some walking, finishing in 50 minutes. We will find out our exact placements by Tuesday -- I think we were somewhere in the lower 500s. :)
