50RR: What CAUSE do you run for?
Caleb: Autism. (Caleb is diagnosed with Autism and we are always trying to share with others what living with Autism really means. The goal is to let the world know that although children with Autism have many challenges, there are things they can do when given the opportunity and a little bit of patience and reinforcement. We support Autism Speaks and the Autism Society of North Carolina.)
50RR: What do you want to share with the running community?
Caleb: That running is fun. (That anyone can be a runner, just encourage them and make them feel good about what they can do.)
