I'm raising money to help people and families with autism live life to the fullest!
This August I’m excited 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 nonprofit that supports families with autistic and neurodiverse children through inclusive programming, workshops, and mentorship across the South Shore.
My daughter, Erin, was diagnosed with autism just before she turned 3. She is a spirited, energetic, animal loving girl who has made amazing progress ever since. Erin lives life unapologetically and is always ready to have some fun! My family has had the privilege of being a part of Raising Harts since its inception. The opportunities for support, growth and inclusion have been nothing short of amazing.
Please consider supporting Raising Harts—every contribution, no matter how small, helps make a meaningful impact in the lives of the individuals and families affected by autism!

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.
