Friends & Family - I am very excited to share that this summer I will be running the Falmouth Road Race. This will be my first time running the race and I’m doing so in support of families/individuals affected by autism. I will be running and raising money for the Doug Flutie Foundation. The Doug Flutie Foundation empowers these individuals/families to live their lives to the fullest. I am very passionate about the cause, as ASD has impacted my life personally. If you are able, please consider donating to my run to help shed light on autism awareness.
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.
