My Story…
Last year, while watching the Falmouth Road Race as a spectator, I set a goal for myself. “I’m going to run this next year!”. I am honored to have the opportunity to achieve this goal, while representing the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.
As a teacher, I have seen first hand some of the challenges these individuals and families face each day, and have also witnessed the amazing things they can accomplish when given the right support.
Please consider donating, not only to help me achieve my own personal goal, but most importantly, to help those affected by autism.
With your help, in August, I run for them!
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 25-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.
