My Story…
Hi friends – I am thrilled to be running the Falmouth Road Race, a 7 mile seaside race on Cape Cod, Massachusetts taking place on August 15th! I am running in support of empowerHER®, an organization that serves girls + young women who experience mother loss, and is working to serve children of all parent loss. I learned of this organization in 2018 when my dear friend Ann Marie moved from Boston to LA on a mission to expand the organization into Southern California. Having witness my own beautiful mother Zena struggle with multiple sclerosis as a child, I can't imagine experiencing the loss of my mom and am running the race in her honor. Thank you so much for your support!
