Help Matt raise money

For participating in The 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

Join Team Cure SMA for the Falmouth Road Race!

Hello Family & Friends,

It is that time of year, the Falmouth Road Race is right around the corner. We are excited the race will return to Falmouth this summer for the traditional run from Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights. This will be my 7th year running, and I am happy to be running with a former teammate again this year, as my Mom will be running with Cure SMA for her 2nd year. I look forward to the Falmouth Road Race with Cure SMA every August, and wouldn't do it without the continued support of great family and friends like you.

This is an exciting time to be a part of the Cure SMA team, as strides are always being made for treating Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Spinraza continues to work its magic for new borns and older patients as well. William receives Spinraza every 4 months, and notices small improvements after each visit. Over time, those small increases add up to make a huge difference, and I love Will's attitude to be a little bit better today than yesterday. I certainly am inspired by his outlook, and it serves as a great reminder for all of us: to make significant progress in any endeavor takes time, and we will continue to battle for these small improvements one day at a time.

Every donation counts, and we are thankful for any gift you consider. Every dollar helps fuel research that leads to breakthroughs like Spinraza, and helps warriors like Will to live a little easier. To make our fundraising simple, my Mom and I are sharing this page, so any donation here will support each of us.

I invite you to spend some time reading the stories of all the team members with Team Cure SMA, it is truly inspiring. This page may be dedicated to Will, my Mom, and I, but it is a small part of the Cure SMA team which we are so happy to be a part of. Together we are strong!

While the goal posted on this page is a dollar figure, our goal every year is to have more donor names on this page than ever before. That is our team goal. The money is important for funding breakthroughs like Spinraza, but to have the support of great people, to know there are others pulling for you when the going gets tough, that is the most meaningful donation of all.

We hope you consider a gift to our efforts. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Together, we will find a cure.

Donate to help Matt raise money for The 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race’s fundraising campaign.
