About Adam McEachern
York Regional Police’s Const. Adam McEachern is a devoted father of two neurodiverse children, Caleb (ASD) and Jensen (ADHD). Inspired by his family’s journey and the challenges many children and youth face, Adam has taken on endurance challenges since 2020 to raise awareness and funds for the Autistic community.
In the past, Adam organized three 24‑hour events and one 12‑hour endurance event, raising approximately $100,000 for Kerry’s Place Autism Services, Autism Ontario, and Special Olympics Ontario.
This year, all proceeds from Adam’s Road Trip will go to Kerry’s Place Autism Services, which supports over 8,000 Autistic individuals across Ontario.
