Help Kaylie raise money

For participating in The 2022 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

My daily work as a speech-language pathologist working with children on the Autism spectrum, has inspired me to partner with the MGH and the Lurie center to raise money for the Lurie Center's Family Support Team! This team supports families as they navigate medical and therapeutic care for their loved ones with Autism. Throughout my work I have always been mindful about a child's care as well as a family's care. I'm so excited to partner with such an amazing foundation! 

Description

All money raised through the ASICS Falmouth Road Race will help fund the Lurie Center's Family Support Team; a consultative lifeline helping patients & families navigate the difficult medical, therapeutic and life decisions related to caring for an individual with autism. Whether it is a question about insurance, educational support, adult services or a sibling adjustment concern, because of the generous donations collected through this event, the Family Support Team is just a phone call away. They meet one-on-one with families, but also field an estimated 7,500 calls per year, and make an additional 4,500 or so follow-up calls. 

Autism diagnoses are on the rise. The number of patients seen at the Lurie Center is growing steadily with more than 10,000 appointments during the last year. Unfortunately, less than half of the clinical costs are covered by health insurance reimbursements.

Charitable support is essential for the vitality of the clinic and there is an extraordinary opportunity to double this event's fundraising efforts. Thanks to the Nancy Lurie Marks Foundation, every donation received will be matched dollar for dollar.
