Hi, I’m Rick Rosario, a proud dad of three amazing kids, including one incredible child on the autism spectrum. Being a father has shaped my purpose in so many ways, and it’s what drives me to take on meaningful challenges like running for a cause close to my heart.

I’ve always loved running, but this journey is about so much more than crossing a finish line. I’m participating in the 2027 Walt Disney World Marathon as part of Dougie’s Team for Autism fundraising to support families and individuals impacted by autism. Every mile I run is for my child, for my family, and for a community that inspires me daily with its strength and resilience.

More than anything, I want to show my kids that no matter what obstacles you face, you can achieve your goals with determination, heart, and perseverance. This race is my way of leading by example and proving that limits are meant to be challenged.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
