My Story…
Hello Friends! I am lacing up my sneakers again and getting into training mode for the Falmouth Road Race on August 15th. Anyone that has run Falmouth knows that it is an iconic race that is held every summer (minus 2020) in Falmouth, Cape Cod. It has the best crowd (rain or shine) cheering you on for the full 7 miles! This year it will be even more special as I will be running for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disorder in the United States. 1 in 54 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, totaling over 5 million young and adults. The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation is dedicated to helping families affected by Autism live their life to the fullest.
Please consider donating and helping support the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and the families affected by Autism.
Thank you and hope to see you in Falmouth on August 15th!!
XOXO
Karyn
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.
