My Story

Since the fall of 2015 my mum has been losing mobility due to Multiple Sclerosis, and now uses a wheelchair. In October of 2019 she was matched with service dog Charlie. After two weeks of training at the NEADS campus she brought Charlie home. Charlie has been such a great addition to our family. As well as helping my mum when she needs to get out the door and to pick things up from the floor, Charlie loves to play ball with us in the back yard and go for rides in the car. The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism has generously opened its (virtual) Annual Flutie 5k to NEADS supporters this year. 100% of the funds I raise will support NEADS World Class Service Dogs, to help them train and place dogs for other people with disabilities like my mum. And if you'd like to see more photos and videos of Charlie, go to: https://support.neads.org/fundraiser/1912073 where my mum posts regular updates.

Description

Join me in reaching my goal for Dougie's Epic Adventure: A Magical Flutie 5K, to raise critical funds for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest! 


Former NFL Quarterback, Doug Flutie, and his wife Laurie started the Doug Flutie, Jr. Flutie Foundation for Autism in 1998 after their son, Dougie, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. Their personal experience of raising a son on the autism spectrum inspired them to help others on an equally long and challenging journey. Over its 22-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $15 million to partner schools and organizations who provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people and families affected by autism.The Flutie Foundation also provides direct financial support to families through initiatives like education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, to provide immediate help where it's needed the most.
