My Story…
I have had the opportunity to work alongside people living with ALS for the past three and a half years. These folks have become friends, and some more like family. I am running for my friends who are no longer here because ALS stole them away way too soon. This year, in particular, I will be running with my friend, Lee Shumway, in my heart.
I am running this year's Falmouth Road Race for The ALS Association Massachusetts Chapter because I see first hand each day the amazing work our organization does. We care for those currently living with ALS and help to improve their quality of life, we fund ground-breaking research so someday we can put an end to ALS, and we advocate federally and on a state level for policy changes to help improve the life of those affected by ALS.
We have a bold goal of making ALS a livable disease by 2030. I know that by increasing awareness and raising the essential funds needed, we can do this together.
Please consider making a donation to my fundraising page, I am so grateful for your support.
I am running so that someday no other family has to hear those words, "you have ALS."
