Tammi hands out medals to half marathon runners as they cross the finish line
Tammi Morton, Director of Operations
I'm not a runner, but I took part in this year's Gingerbread Man Running Company's Run for Autism Connection in the 5k. When asked why I chose to participate even though I was planning and volunteering as well; many hats to wear. I chose to run because it is something I never thought I would do, or could do. I moved slowly. My shoe untied. Twice. But the sense of accomplishment I felt crossing the finish line was immense, despite my slow pace, and my staggering apprehension.
Without support from the Gingerbread Man Running Company crew, other participants, collegues, and loved ones who believed in me, I imagine that I wouldn't have even made an attempt.
This is very much like the work we do. If you need support, information, resources, advocacy, or simply someone to talk to, please reach out. We're here for you.
