Hello Everyone,
My name is Callie Freidinger. I’m so honored to participate in The Arc, Ocean County Chapter’s 23rd “Step Up for The Arc” 5K Race to celebrate individuals with disabilities in Ocean County!
Two years ago, my son Matthew was diagnosed with autism. Since then, he has made incredible progress thanks to the dedication of his ABA therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and Early Intervention Team. His journey hasn’t been easy, but I always remind him that he can do hard things. Inspired by his strength and resilience, I decided to take on this challenge and run my first 5K. This race is about more than just miles - it’s about achieving our milestones.
I invite you to help me reach my teams fundraising goal, as 100% of the event proceeds will support the programs and services at The Arc, Ocean County Chapter. This incredible organization provides invaluable opportunities for children like Matthew.
Thank you for your support!
