My Story
I founded Verge in 2015 to bring the magic of running and the team sport environment to others, hoping to share the same significant impact that running had on me and my own development with others who could benefit from it most yet have the least access to it. I learned that I am not alone and there is an immense demand for a quality program like this, especially among the autism community! It’s been amazing and awesome getting to know all the Verge families and volunteers, seeing a community come together and a vision since childhood realized large scale. I need help to keep it going and to be able to provide for the overwhelming demand.
Verge has changed lives and I hope to continue to improve many more. Your donation will help us increase our impact and spread goodness throughout communities. Want to get involved? Contact us! We are growing our organization and looking to fill a variety of roles so that we can build the capacity to serve all and expand.

Description
Join me in reaching my goal for the 2021 Flutie 5k for Autism: Dougie's Epic Adventure, 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 23-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.
