Hi, my name is Ryan. I’m 15 years old, and I’m autistic. My younger brother, Luke, is 13, and he is also autistic. This year, I am running the Flutie 5K to raise awareness and support for families like ours.

We are running for the Black Autism Coalition (BAC), an organization that gives hope, education, and community to families impacted by autism. BAC helps me feel confident advocating for myself and my brother. BAC creates programs where kids like me and Luke can feel included and accepted.

Running this race means a lot to me because it shows that no matter the challenges, we can keep moving forward. I invite you to support me by donating to BAC so that more families can get the help and resources they need.

Together, we can make a difference.
