My Story
7 years ago, my son was diagnosed with autism. We struggled to find support groups and service providers, but were never alone. We were lucky enough to have an amazing neighborhood of people who have both accepted and supported us in this journey. We were also very lucky to learn about the Doug Flutie, Jr., Foundation for Autism early on.
The Flutie Foundation helps children and families live life to the fullest by making it possible for them to access therapies and family support, sensory equipment, music therapy, inclusive summer camps, and more. It takes a village, and the Flutie Foundation is that village for all of those children and families. They make immediate differences in people's lives. They are also one of the few organizations making an actual difference in lives of autistic adults looking for employment.
Thank you for any support you can provide!
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.
