Help Stephanie raise money

Once again I am running the Falmouth Road Race in honor of my son, Elliot who turns 18 in August. After beating incredible odds and surviving an extremely rare, aggressive form of infant leukemia, he has lived with significant Autism since age 3. 

I run the Falmouth Road Race each year to honor his resilience and to support his incredible school, The New England Center for Children. NECC has been a constant source of education, family support and frankly, love over the past 15 years. The amount of dedication and hard work that the team at NECC pours into each child is incredible and shows in the remarkable progress Elliot has made over the years. 

Elliot is a non-verbal student in NECC's residential program. He relies upon his iPad and vocal approximations for communication. Language development has been a painstaking and often frustrating process for all of us who deeply love Elliot. Each year the NECC staff finds creative and innovative ways to teach him new language and skills. The mindset at NECC is that there is no limit on what they can provide kids like Elliot to open the world to them. 

Elliot's journey has been and continues to be long and unpredictable. Our family could not manage a fraction as well as we do without the amazing team at The New England Center for Children by our side. 

Please consider supporting my run for Elliot this year as I pay tribute to his incredible courage and strength while supporting The New England Center for Children in their relentless efforts to provide the absolute best for him. 

With deep gratitude, 

Stephanie
