A MESSAGE FROM Evan Mansfield
I have always dreamed of running the New York City Marathon, and I am so excited to be running for Team ASAN in my first-ever marathon!
ASAN works to make sure that autistic people are in control of their own lives and have a say in policies that affect the Autistic community, ensuring that decisions for Autistic people are made by Autistic people.

Having been diagnosed with Autism at a very young age, I understand I am in a great position of privilege to have progressed at the level that I have, thanks to the support from my family, friends, schools, and so many more amazing people. I have gone from having significant speech delay onset and being in full-time special education, with no expectations to make it to full-time education, to becoming the first member of my family to graduate from university, to earning a place in Fairfield University's MBA Program with an Artificial Intelligence Concentration as the 2024 Conlisk Scholar.
I am completing this challenge to raise awareness for ASAN, to continue advocating for the Autistic community and to help in any way I can!
