Help Michelle raise money

Thrilled to be running this year as part of Dougie's Team!  My son was diagnosed autistic when he was three.  I know how much it means for families to have support, respite and all the programs and supports that the Foundation provides.  Danny is doing amazing, he is currently a student at the Wolf School in East Providence, RI and he plays hockey for the Great Blizz team in Plymouth.  He loves talking about NBA players, cooking us dinner on Tuesday nights, bragging about how tall he is getting (Toland family genes for sure), and he just discovered last week a love of surfing (go Gnome Surf!).  He is doing so well and his teachers are so proud of him.  But we would not be where we are without community, without others, without the programs and supports in our area for children like Danny.

I am definitely not a runner and definitely feel out of my element here, my running speed to date has been “oh boy I could sign up for a 5K if beer is at the finish line” or “sure I’ll do the 5K turkey trot and if it is too cold, I may sleep in” but I wanted to do something special this year.  I am so grateful for the Flutie Foundation and others that do so much to support our kids.
