Actress An Autism Advocate
Holly and her husband Rodney Peete started the HollyRod Foundation. Originally, this was inspired by her father’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Later, the foundation expanded, when their oldest son, R.J., was diagnosed with autism.
Since then, Holly has been a dedicated advocate for both autism and Parkinson’s. In addition, her 2021 Hallmark holiday movie was Our Christmas Journey, which focused on an autistic grown-up child. She advocated for this movie to bring hope to others in the same situation.
In addition, actor Nik Sanchez, who played her son, is on the spectrum. She felt this detail was important because representation matters.
