This year, I’m proud to be running with the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, an incredible organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by autism.

Supporting this cause is very personal to me. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for people with autism. Back in middle school, I spent time volunteering with autistic students, and those moments truly stuck with me. I loved being able to connect with them and do something as simple as putting a smile on their faces—it meant everything.

I’ve also grown up seeing a different side of it through my mom, who is a principal. I’ve witnessed how much these kids and their families go through—the challenges, the strength, and the need for more support and understanding. It’s opened my eyes to how important it is to advocate for them and create more opportunities.

That’s why I’m running.

I’m running to support these incredible kids and families.
I’m running to help bring more awareness and resources to the autism community.
And I’m running to be part of something bigger than myself.

Any donation—big or small—means so much and goes directly toward making a difference. Thank you for supporting me and being part of this journey!
