OUR FINISH LINE SAYS ALS DONE!
I'm the Research Access Nurse at the Healey Center for ALS Research at Mass General Hospital and I have the best job! I meet amazing people every day who teach me about resilience and bravery while living their best lives despite their diagnosis of ALS.
I am running in memory of Monica Higgins, my dear friend of more than 40 years, who lost her life to ALS in 2019. Monica faced ALS with great courage, dignity and humor. I, like so many friends and family members, were honored to know and love Monica and grateful for the time we spent together while Monica lived with ALS her way.
This is a very special race for me to be part of for many reasons - running along side my daughter Allison who works at the Healey Center as part of Team ALS ONE, the Falmouth Roadrace is 50, I am turning 60, and the best reason of all - remembering Monica.
Thank you ALS ONE for letting me join your team and for your endless dedication and financial support of ALS research and clinical care for the most deserving group of people ever. And to everyone living with ALS, thank you for providing me with the courage to sign up for this race.
