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!!
