On a personal note, my youngest son, Matthew, was diagnosed with Autism in 2003. Since then, it has been my mission to raise awareness and funds to support Autism research. Dedicated to helping others, the Elpida Autism Foundation was established and as president of the organization, we are proud to have raised over $750,000 and counting.
