Help Allison raise money

Hello!! You’ve probably ended up here because you know me, my family/friend! My name is Allison and I am so excited to be running the 2025 Falmouth Road Race for Doug Flutie and Autism!!! 

Running with Dougie’s Team for the Boston Marathon in 2023 was an amazing experience I was dying to run for them again!! Having grown up with a brother with Autism I learned so much from both him and my parents. Scott, my brother, taught me patience, from helping him put on and tie his shoes, to how we communicate with him being nonverbal. He’s taught me the ability to focus in hectic environments, we always had TVs on with shows he liked or videos and music playing he enjoyed. Additionally, I learned to never underestimate anyone, Scott has managed to learn how to understand different languages by watching different YouTube videos of his favorite shows (often Thomas the Tank Engine). Watching my parents raise him taught me unconditional love. Scott’s autism was never seen as a condition or disability. They both also taught me the importance of advocating. My mother would drive hours a day to bring Scott to the best school and programs. Meanwhile my dad become involved in many boards, like Pathlight: Autism Connections, the MA Department of Developmental Services Springfield/Westfield Citizens Advisory Board and DDS Central West Regional Citizen Advisory Board.

I’ve now found my own way to give back to those with autism and their families by raising money and running for Dougie’s Team! Please help me in hitting my goal to raise $1,000! 

Thank you!!
