My Story…
This August I am running the Falmouth Road race in honor of our best girl, Izzy Kennedy. Izzy was diagnosed with Autism at age 2. She has made amazing progress since and thriving in school and socializing with her friends. She has taught us so much without even knowing. She lives life unapologetically and brings the party! Izzy’s mom and dad, Mandy and Ryan Kennedy have been my dear friends for 15+ years and to watch them thrive in a whole new world has been nothing short of amazing. Let’s raise some money for this cause and for boys and girls like Izzy and thanks to everyone in advance!
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.
