This past Sunday, the team participated in the Flutie 5k road race, which raised over $40,000! Doug Flutie, a legend at Boston College and former Heisman trophey winner, is the founder of the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation, which promotes awareness and supports families affected by autism. Doug's son, Dougie Jr. was stricken with CCD (Childhood Disintergrative Disorder) and is only capable of speaking single words.
We braved the rainy weather and completed the race! One of the major highlights was having the pleasure of meeting, hanging out with AND getting Doug Flutie's autograph. He really was so grateful to see the whole BC Lacrosse team out there supporting the cause. I think we might have a new fan this coming season!
