My Story…
I'm excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race again this year for Independence House! Independence House is the largest, private, non-profit in Cape Cod that provides much needed support to sexual assault and domestic violence survivors and their families.
I've been a NY state certified sexual assault forensic examiner (SAFE) for over ten years now. I love being a SAFE and seeing survivors has taught me so much.. to stop and just listen, to truly be more compassionate, to speak without judgement, and to treat in a way that not only gives them back the power someone else stole from them but also as a way to start the healing process. None of them deserve what happened to them and it's for them that I run.
My inspiration for this race really comes from my Dad. I aspire to one day be as selfless as he was.
I would be humbled by any donation you can give, even if just $5. Thank you so much!
