As a former special educator, I worked with children of all ages and abilities, but my time supporting students with Autism was the most memorable experience of my teaching career. Having the opportunity to run with Dougie's Team for the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend is truly meaningful for me. Like many other families, I have close family members who are diagnosed with Autism and work hard to excel while managing their learning differences.
It is my goal to find ways to support individuals living and learning with Autism since leaving the classroom. It is my hope that through my fundraising efforts for the Disney Wine and Dine Weekend, I can contribute to providing meaningful ways to support the efforts of the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation to continue helping individuals living and thriving with Autism.
