Help Matthew raise money

I hope this email finds you healthy and safe during what has been a challenging 18 months for the world.  As some of you may know, for many years running (no pun intended), I have run the Falmouth Road Race each August in Falmouth, MA. This fantastic race brings the community together and truly showcases the American spirit. It has given me many fond memories and an opportunity to give back. With that said, I have decided to run again with the "Heroes in Transition" team, whose focus is to support our military heroes as they transition back from active duty. I have been running with this group for the last 8 years – each and every year being a truly rewarding experience!  

You can donate to this cause and support my fundraising goal by clicking this link. https://raceroster.com/events/2021/31634/the-2021-asics-falmouth-road-race/pledge/participant/12260590  I have been lucky enough to meet the incredible parents (Cyndy and Ken Jones) of Eric Jones, whom this charity was created in memory of. Please feel free to read about Eric on the Heroes in Transition website. He truly embodied what it meant to be an American and is someone we can all be proud of. In short, this is a wonderful 501 (c) 3 not for profit organization that recognizes those who have served or who are serving our country, especially in the Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) conflicts, by providing appropriate assistance to those with special needs in four key areas: Home modifications for disabled veterans Transitional Support Group Therapy Financial support for service families Assistance dogs for veterans

Their mission is to provide assistance that is not readily available from other organizations, including local, state and federal agencies.

It can also be used as a tax write off (EIN number 27-1981637). Many thanks for your support – and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Best regards, Matthew
