Help Jocelyn raise money

Hi, I’m Jocelyn Klofas, and I’m honored to be running my 2nd Falmouth Road Race and my 4th race with Dougie’s Team for Autism.

Running has become such a meaningful part of my life, especially over the past few years. I ran the 2023 Boston Marathon just 7.5 months postpartum with my daughter, and returned again for the 2025 Boston Marathon as a support runner, 10 months postpartum after my son was born. I also had the opportunity to run the 2025 Falmouth Road Race, and I’m so excited to be back again this year.

I’m a proud mom of two little ones (ages 3.5 and 2), and balancing motherhood, teaching, and training has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my life.

By day, I am a special education teacher with Boston Public Schools, where I’ve worked for the past 10 years. I currently teach in the NExT program, supporting young adults ages 18–22 with moderate disabilities, including autism, as they build independence and transition into adulthood. My students inspire me every single day, and they are a huge part of why this cause is so important to me.

Running for Dougie’s Team is more than just crossing a finish line—it’s about raising awareness, supporting individuals with autism, and giving back to a community that means so much to me both personally and professionally.

Beyond this race, I have big running goals—I’m working toward completing a marathon in all 50 states and running all of the World Marathon Majors, with the Berlin Marathon coming up this September.

Thank you so much for supporting me, Dougie’s Team, and the autism community. Every donation truly makes a difference!
