2022 Disney Marathon Weekend Highlights
About me!
Hi everyone! My name is Kirby Povilaitis and I am raising money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism! This April, I will be running in the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, participating in the 5k and 10k races.
Why I’m Running
I have two brothers, Jackie (25) and Jimmy (21), who are both on the autism spectrum. Jackie is non-verbal and is currently in an adult services program in central Pennsylvania, and Jimmy is verbal and in his final year of school. Both are huge fans of Disney, and love watching cartoons!
My family knows how hard it is to support family members on the autism spectrum, both financially and emotionally. Between therapy sessions, medications, specialized diets, assistive technology, and education services, expenses can add up quickly. We all want our loved ones to be happy and healthy; wealth should not be a factor in how happy a child on the spectrum is able to be.
The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism strives to ensure that families affected by autism can live life to the fullest. Thanks to donations like yours, the Flutie Foundation has distributed $14 million dollars to families, schools, organizations, and community partners, and helped change the lives of over 10,000 families and individuals affected by autism.
Please consider donating to help this cause that is so close to my heart. Donations can be made at the bottom of this page using the "Donate Now" button. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
Little Me and Jimmy
This is me and Jimmy when we were just little ones. We are wearing matching watermelon shirts in case either of the boys ran away at Disney, so they would be easy to spot from far away! It helped us on many occasions.
Happy Jackie
Jackie isn’t always a fan of pictures, but he always laughs when his dad is making faces behind the camera!
Rainbow Guy
Jimmy LOVES anything rainbow! He has gone as a rainbow for Halloween for two years now, and can spot a rainbow colored mural like this one at Disney from a mile away!
Disney
My family LOVES Disney! Here they are hanging out with one of our best friends, Donald Duck. Jimmy used to have us ride the Three Caballeros ride in Epcot five times in a row during each trip!
My Family :)
