My Story…
Hi Friends,
This August is the 50th year of the Falmouth Road Race. Although I haven't run in many years, I have decided to run for a great cause and to help raise important funds to support Tommy's Place.
Tommy's Place is a magical vacation home for kids fighting cancer. The home is a place to relax, make memories and most importantly have fun.
I am running in honor of two Watertown friends in mind. Little Raffi Boyadjian, who was 8 years old when he lost his life to a brain tumor and Jay Jerahian, who we lost at 53 years old after a courageous battle with cancer. Both were beloved members of our Watertown Armenian community.
I know they would be honored that funds raised in their memory would go to helping kids and their families dealing with cancer.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
John
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!!
