My Story…
Hey there everyone, I'm running Falmouth Road Race (the at-home edition) in support of The Boston House!
The Boston House is an incredible nonprofit organization that provides a home-away-from-home for children with cancer and their families. I worked there from 2015- 2018, and I am continually inspired and amazed by the staff, my former team, who have worked so hard to keep the place open and available to families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I'm also inspired by the families that come from all over the U.S. and all over the world to navigate a new city, sometimes a new language, all for the sake of world-class cancer treatment for their children in Boston.
As you probably know, hotels in Boston are not affordable for many people, especially when medical and travel expenses add up. That's why The Boston House exists: to offer low-cost ($10/night) or free accommodations for children with cancer and their families, right next to Boston Children's Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
So let's thank the amazing Boston House team and build on all of their hard work. Your donation will help ensure that The Boston House is always available to families who need it.
And...since I can run the Falmouth Road Race ANYWHERE this year, I'm going to pick my own scenic route. Hopefully there will be an ocean breeze, but we'll see. I may have to settle for a river view.
I'll report back on my race date, location, and TIME (if it is not too embarrassing.) Stay tuned!
