Dressed in very patriotic attire and a Boston Red Sox cap, the Natick native was running on behalf of the Flutie Foundation, which works to support families affected by autism. The foundation live-streamed part of the race on its Facebook page.

After the race, Flutie met with fellow Boston College Eagle Pete Frates. Frates’s brother, Andrew, was running the marathon in honor of his sibling and to raise awareness about ALS.
