Help Gabriela raise money

For participating in The 2022 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

Hi everyone! This summer will be the 50th annual Falmouth Road Race and after being on the sidelines all these years, it’s finally my turn to lace up and take the course. I do so in honor of my dad, Jay Jerahian, who lost his battle to cancer back in 2013. I have also been given the great privilege of joining and raising money for the Tommy’s Place foundation team.

 Tommy’s Place is an incredible organization that offers a vacation home for kids who are battling cancer. Knowing that it takes a village, Tommy’s Place allows for children and their friends/families to spend quality time together relaxing and making new memories, all while completely free of charge. As someone who has seen first hand the effect that cancer has on a close loved one and the truthfulness behind “it takes a village”, I am honored to be running for this team and what it stands for. 

 One of the rooms in Tommy’s Place is named after Liesl Radzik, a wonderful woman and dear friend who also courageously lost her battle to cancer. So it is with great pride that I am also able to run in her memory, while keeping her wonderful mantra “Because Nice Matters” in the back of my mind while I make my way to the finish line and remember what brought us here.

Any donation is greatly appreciated and all proceeds go directly towards relieving the financial burdens of the families who stay here at Tommy’s Place. Thank you! 

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!!
