This week I am celebrating 9 months of sobriety. Running has been a huge party of my recovery journey and I wanted to use my new found passion to help others in some way.
Better late than never, I stumbled upon the last available spot on the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism team to run the Falmouth Road Race, Sunday August 15th.
What better way to celebrate than to run with an amazing Foundation to help raise awareness and acceptance for Autism.
Scroll down to learn more about this incredible foundation and all they continue to do in the world of ASD.
If you are able, I would so appreciate your support by donations to the Foundation!
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.
