Hello everyone reading this and thank you again for your donations to this wonderful charity.  

I would like to say that I am proud to be sponsered by Dougie's Team and be a part of this wonderful charity.  My goal is to raise 2,500.  

I am 37 years old and i work for the TSA in the state of Florida.  I was a runner in high school and my first year of college.  I ran XC, and track and focused on the long distance races.  How I got involved with this charity is a funny story.  

I was in Disney running one of the Disney races with a friend who had tickets to Dougs charity event.  I went with him and got to meet some very wonderful people including Doug himself.  I didn't know much about the charity or the races that Disney puts on every year. Right before entering the hall where the charity event was taking place, I placed my name in a raffle for the Dopey Challenge. Just like a bad comedy my name was called at the end of the event to be part of Dougs team.  As I said earlier I couldn't be prouder to run for Doug Flutie's Team for Autism and the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation. Being part of the team has given me that extra push to complete this challenge not just for myself but for the charity, the team and the people who donate.

Thank you for any and all donations.
