I'm raising money to help people and families with autism live life to the fullest!
Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am running the Falmouth race this August and running for the Dougie Flutie Foundation. They are a charity I have been invested in for a while now. They are helping individuals and families on the autism spectrum with direct financial support. As many of you know both of my kids are autistic and require a lot of support. We are very fortunate to be able to support them right now financially and emotionally but we realize we are lucky to have the resources available to us. Some families like ours are not and need our support in any way possible. The Doug Flutie Foundation is an amazing resource for all families like ours and we want to continue our support for the work they do. Please consider donating in anyway that you can! If it’s financial or volunteering, I can tell you that your presence in these families lives is so rewarding!
The McGrath Family

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 26-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.
