On 9/21/25 I will attack the 26.2 mile marathon course in Berlin, Germany in support of Dougie Flutie Jr.'s Foundation for Autism.
 

The Flutie Foundation's mission is to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest.  As a self-driven runner who brings people together through community development, conversation, events and exercise I aim to support this foundation and raise money for a great cause.  Support those who support you is the mantra as I move forward in raising funds and accomplishing this goal.

As the son of two special education teachers and the brother of another, I have been around autistic individuals my entire life. I have created friends, life-long partnerships and bonds. This is for Dougie Jr., this is for the teachers, this is for Jack, this is for Connor, this is for the Island Autism Group, this is for L.A.B.B.B., this is for the Cardinal Cushing School, this is for the Bridge Program. 

"A world where people with autism lead productive lives where they are included, respected, and actively engaged in their communities".

Our programs and activities improve the quality of everyday life for people and families affected by autism along seven key dimensions that are critical to living each day fully.  We aim to provide a path for education and/or employment during the day; opportunities for physical and social activity outside of work/school; and the tools to be safe, supported, and informed at all times.
