We are a husband and wife team who love to run to support local organizations and charities with our 18 month old daughter. In 2022, we participated in 11 runs to support various charities and organizations such as the YMCA Cornerstone program, The Samaritans for Suicide Awareness, the Turkey Trot 5 miler to support the Boys and Girls Club, and also the Festivus 5k to support a local school for children on the spectrum! In 2023 we plan on running in over 17 runs to support various programs! Feel free to follow our journey on Facebook!
Why we chose to run with Dougie's Team for Autism for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend
My husband and I decided to join Dougie's Team for Autism to participate in Disneyland's Half Marathon Weekend because our families and friends are directly affected by Autism. We see the daily struggles that they go through to care for their loved ones on the spectrum. The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism is a local charity that does many wonderful things for the autism community. To support them, we are raising funds for their foundation and running the Dumbo Double which is a 10k and Half Marathon back to back. We thank you in advance for donating to our team and helping us support this amazing foundation!
