On April 16, students and community members participated in the second annual “Glow Run” in hopes to raise awareness for Autism Spectrum Disorder.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Webb student, Jeffery Korth came up with the idea in 2015. \u201cI personally have high-functioning Autism and I just really wanted to do something that would give back to those who are much more severe on the spectrum than I am,” said Korth. “I just really enjoy the fact that people are willing to come out here and help raise awareness for Autism, because that\u2019s really all this is about, raising awareness and having a good time.”<\/p>\n
