My Story…
This year I am running Falmouth Road Race for The Flutie Foundation for Autism. I am specifically running for my beautiful niece Sophia. At only five years old she has been dealt quite a hand, and she battles it head-on. At just 6 months old she was diagnosed with Epilepsy and still has multiple seizures a day. At 2 years old she was diagnosed with Level 3 Autism. She is nonverbal and developmentally delayed but still has a bright personality that shines through her smiles and giggles.
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.
