with this year's grant of $20,000 designated to help fund CAN's Brain Development Initiative.

"Two years ago, I joined the Chapter," said Laura, who is an Administrative Assistant in Clinical Pathology at Quest Diagnostics in Wood Dale, IL. "Last year, I read about the Quest Diagnostics Foundation and had the appropriate information submitted about CAN. When I heard that the Quest Diagnostics Foundation granted them $20,000 to aid in the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) research, tears flowed from my eyes. This is so important to my family and me! The Foundation granted CAN another $20,000 this year for the Brain Development Initiative. Again, I cried. I am just so excited that the company I work for believes in CAN enough to grant these much-needed dollars. Our family is so happy and I am so proud to work for Quest Diagnostics."

Thank you, Laura and everyone at Quest Diagnostics!
