About the Fly Brave Foundation
Fly Brave was created in January of 2016, by a mother and son duo, Vanessa Bieker and John Almeda, in response to a need for continued support for adults with developmental disabilities following the school years.
When John, who is a notable 100-mile distance runner and has non-verbal autism, was aging out of the school system at 22 years old, Vanessa began searching for programs to continue his growth, steps to independence, social connections and training in meaningful employment. Coming up short, she left her career behind to build a foundation for John and others like him in their community to offer these services in leading a purpose filled life.
