Paul’s College Basketball Madness 2022
2022-03-31
Welcome to Paul’s College Basketball Madness!
My name is Paul Morris. I was diagnosed with autism at age 2 & was nonverbal until age 5. Today, I live alone, work two jobs & am a proud self-advocate. I am a strong supporter of the Autism Science Foundation, & am the co-chair of their annual Wall Street Rides FAR 5K family trail walk.
I am also a life-long college basketball fan. Some of my favorite teams are Lafayette, Princeton, Vermont, Pepperdine, Richmond, Northeastern, Penn, Columbia, Fordham, Delaware, UCONN, & Austin Peay. This year, in celebration of March Madness, I am raising money for the Autism Science Foundation, & its mission to support autism research. Your donation will help fund important scientific research that can help future generations of individuals with autism-like myself.
Thank you for participating in my fundraiser, & celebrating one of my favorite times of the year – March Madness!
