Help Kelliann raise money

For participating in The 2022 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

I am running the Falmouth Road Race with my son Joe on 8/21/22 to raise funds for a very important organization CCALS. Compassionate Care ALS provides equipment and resources for individuals diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. 

On 3/9/2009 my father accepted the diagnosis of ALS with grace. His only request was to be cared for at home by his family. We were able to do that because Ron Hoffman and his staff at CCALS provided equipment and resources to care for him. We were also able to travel with Dad and check off some bucket list places with guidance from CCALS.  One of those places was the Falmouth Road Race. Dad watched family members run the 7 mile race on a humid 90 degree day in mid August 2009. He laughed hysterically as we ran by and that laughter helped me cross the finish line.

I have set a goal to raise $1500.

ALS is a debilitating neurological disease that leads to substantial physical disability and has a high mortality rate. Estimates on annual healthcare costs range from approximately $16,000 up to $200,000 and can vary depending on the stage of the illness.
Caregivers endure tremendous financial, physical and emotional stress supporting their loved ones with ALS, CCALS provides resources for them as well.

Please help me reach my goal, any amount is appreciated.
