Lyndsay Cone

Hi! My name is Lyndsay Cone, mom of three, scientist and lover of running. I grew up outside of Boston and the Boston Marathon always seemed like something only super heroes could do BUT I have been given the chance of a lifetime to run the Boston Marathon in 2023 for  Dougie's Team. My son Ben was diagnosed with Autism at 2 years old. He was no verbal, smashed his head out of frustration and was developmentaly where a 6 month old would be. We were heart broken and frankly terrified about what a life for Ben would look like but through support services amazing people were brought into our life to guide us on this journey. Slowly the light began to shine through our very dark world and Ben started to emerge as the funny, sweet and lovable little guy he is. Ben is 8 years old now and because of amazing people much smarter than myself Ben is at grade level! I am humble enough to know that with Autism Support Services we would not be here today and I would not know the incredible little boy I get to call my son. If I am able to support one family's journey with this race it will be worth every mile of training!!
