Dylan’s 2-Mile Run/Walk has been a highlight for Milwaukee’s Autism community since 2001.

Who is Dylan?
Dylan is a 12 year-old boy whose family lives in the Milwaukee area. His family is American Indian from the White Earth band of Chippewa located in northern Minnesota. He goes to school, likes to swim and hike, and has autism. Dylan was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and has battled the disability with the help of the Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin (ASSEW), ABA therapy, and medical intervention. Dylan represents all children who have a different way of thinking and expressing themselves due to autism. Our organization and our run exist so that Dylan and all individuals with autism can have opportunities for the best possible life.
