I am thrilled and honored to be running the 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race for Dougie’s Team to raise funds for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. I consider this a great challenge but also a tremendous privilege. Being an athlete my entire life, I have a found a new passion in distance running the last few years, which has brought me to amazing races and places, as well as allowed me to meet some pretty amazing people along the way. I found a special connection with Dougie's Team, as I spent 4 years as a coach for special needs children in various sports including soccer, basketball and baseball. It was an honor being able to coach those children and watch them grow and it will be an honor to run with Dougie's team in Falmouth!
Description
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 20-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $14 million to schools and organizations that provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people affected by autism.
The Flutie Foundation also provides education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, and direct family support through its special programs. The Flutie Foundation’s newest initiative, Flutie Spectrum Enterprises, will help create businesses to employ adults with autism.
