Help Melissa raise money

For participating in The 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

60f47483e0ed5.jpgHello Everyone,

First, a big thank you!

         I’m writing  to ask for your support for a very special goal - to improve the lives of every person affected by strokes and heart disease. This year I will be lacing back up those running sneakers and running the Falmouth Road Race for Tedy’s Team this August 2021. The mission of Tedy's Team is to raise awareness for stroke and heart disease while supporting survivors on their journey, giving them a means for a comeback!

I run because I can.I may not be the fastest or the one who can run the longest but I get it done. I chose to run for Tedy’s Team to raise awareness for Heart and Strokes because both my grandparents had heart issues and they were my heroes.They raised 11 children and 25 grandchildren and taught us to have strong family values  My nana had a few heart valve transplants and my nana was my best friend and biggest supporter. My grandfather was also the best of the best. He suffered a heart attack when I was in middle school and he had to have a defibrillator put in, he ended up with two defibrillators that kept him in our lives for 84 years.  My grandparents have now been gone few years and we miss  them terribly.


 Over the last two years I have been able to raise money for heart and stroke research and raise money for stroke awareness with this incredible team. The more I become involved with Tedy’s Team, the more  I am  aware of how many people, friends, and family are affected by strokes and heart disease each year and how people overcome the odds and battle back everyday to improve themselves and their environment.

Lots of love,
