Hey everyone! Very excited that my first ever Marathon will be representing the Flutie Foundation in Boston! I have lived in Bean Town for three years, and the opportunity to serve on Dougie's in one of America's greatest marathons (shoutout OKC Memorial as the other!) would far and away be the most meaningful and rewarding experience from my time here.

A friend and fellow Bostonian (thank you, Blumy) has been involved with the Flutie Foundation for several years now and recently connected me to the organization. I look forward to engaging more with the community and furthering its mission leading up to race day (will post updates regularly here).

You can see my fundraising goal of $10,000 on this page. If you felt so inclined to contribute, your money would go to supporting a unique organization that has been so critical to the health and happiness of individuals and families affected by autism.

The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation aims to help people and families affected by autism live life to the fullest. Their 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.

THANK YOU!
