My Story…
Hi everyone! For the third consecutive year I will be running the Falmouth Road Race for Tommy's Place. For those of you who don't know, Tommy's Place is a dream vacation home in Falmouth, Massachusetts for kids with cancer that allows them to escape from the cruel reality that childhood cancer is. I have had the opportunity to visit Tommy's Place last summer and meet one of the girls who was staying there with her family, Caiya. Caiya's attitude and joy of life despite what she was going through was inspiring, eye opening and something I will never forget. Caiya is one of the many reasons I run for Tommy's Place. Having dealt with cancer in my family and seeing families close to me fight similar battles I understand how important it is to support them, and take their minds off a hard time in life for a brief moment. That is exactly the opportunity Tommy's Place gives to these kids and their families. Please consider donating to a great cause and a place that has a special place in my heart!
Description
Tommy's Place is OPEN!
"Tommy's Place" is a magical vacation home for kids fighting cancer. The home, located in Falmouth on Cape Cod, is a place to relax, make memories, and most importantly have fun! To ensure privacy, one family at a time will stay in the home for up to a week, free of charge. The house has enough room for the immediate family, extended family, as well as any friends and caregivers that are all part of the support system. For these children and their families, one of the most important aspects of dealing with cancer is having a supportive community. “It takes a village” is especially true when dealing with childhood cancer. "Tommy's Place" is an HGTV Dream Home/Disney like experience with individually designed and decorated rooms, an inground swimming pool, game room, home theatre and tavern, music and arts and crafts rooms and so much more!!!
Since opening in July of 2021 Tommy's Place has served more than 40 families and is fully booked through 2022!
Thanks for your help and support we really appreciate it!!
