Dan Marino is Florida royalty. The former Miami Dolphin quarterback is one of the biggest names in NFL history, and also a huge personality off the field as he was an analyst for CBS and HBO. Marino also has been on the big screen in several films, as well as the head of “The Dan Marino Foundation” which helps the fight against autism and other nueurodevelopmental disorders. His organization has raised over $22 million dollars, and includes an annual “Walk about Autism” to help raise awareness for the disorder.
