Hi Everybody!

I finally took the plunge and am running Boston.  It has taken many years for me to get to this point an of course it is the third race I am doing for the Foundation this year.  It also means I am running the Dopey Challenge (5k, 10k, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon) at Walt Disney World at the beginning of January, the Dumbo Double Dare Challenge (10k and Half Marathon) at Disneyland a week later, and finally Boston in April.

Every penny of your contribution to support my run will go a long way towards helping individuals and families affected by autism live life to the fullest.

I am truly humbled by all of your support! - Matt

Why am I running?  There is no simple answer to that question so I will try to provide some answers.

- To complete a life long dream of running the Boston Marathon

- To have people stop asking me or telling me "You should run Boston."

- To run for the people that can't

- To run for a great foundation

- To raise money for worth families

There are many other reasons, but I think that is a good summary.  The main thing is the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation is an amazing charity that does so much for families.
