Thank you for visiting. The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs, by celebrating their individuality, as well as bringing energy, support, and peace of mind to their families. Friendship Circle chapters in local communities create meaningful relationships and friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs, increasing confidence, igniting dreams, and redefining worldviews for both parties.

I'm so happy to run for this special cause since it brings so much joy to so many!!
I also always have my mom with me in my heart with every run as she was my biggest cheerleader and always encouraged me to "do it" whatever the "IT" was.
I appreciate all the support I can get! Together we can make a difference! Best - BATYA
