Hi, my name is Gavin DelGrande and I'm taking part in the Walt Disney World Marathon to raise money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. This will be my second marathon with Dougie's Team. This past spring I ran the Boston Marathon, and I am honored to be a part of the team for another race. Autism now affects 1 in every 59 children – it is not partial to race or socioeconomic class. The Flutie Foundation works to help people and families affected by autism to live life to the fullest. Whether it’s ensuring the safety of a 5-year-old, nonverbal and autistic child by providing funding for a fence, or providing a GPS SafetyNet tracking bracelet for the autistic child who wanders. The Flutie Foundation addresses critical safety needs occurring right now for people with autism. If you can, please donate to my fundraising project to improve the lives of these children and their families.
