See my team!I'm raising money to help people and families with autism live life to the fullest!
This August I’m proud to be running the 2025 Falmouth Road Race in support of Raising Harts, through the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. Raising Harts is a South Shore based nonprofit that creates inclusive events, parent support networks, and activities for neurodivergent families.
As a mom to Mackenzie and Finn -both nonverbal autistic - I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact this organization has had on our lives. The connection, understanding, and sense of community Raising Harts provides has been truly life-changing for our family. That’s what motivates me to run: to help bring that same support and inclusivity to other families navigating the autism spectrum.
Thank you so much for supporting this cause that’s so close to my heart!
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 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.
