Help Erika raise money

For participating in The 2021 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

I'm excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race for Independence House of Cape Cod! Independence House is the largest private, non-profit in Cape Cod that works with both domestic and sexual violence survivors and their families. 

About ten years ago, I became a NY state trained Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE). Being a SAFE and seeing survivors has taught me so much.. to stop and just listen, to truly be more compassionate, to speak without judgement, and to treat in a way that gives them back the power someone else stole from them. I see survivors at their most vulnerable and it's for them that I run this race.  

But my inspiration to run this race comes from my Dad. I aspire to one day be as selfless as he was.. 

Thank you so much for your donation!!
