My team
Why I am running!
SMILE Mass is run by an amazing woman and mother (Lotte Diomede), who created it for her son Nicholas, who is now 22. I have known them both as Nicholas and my older twin boys (Jack and Sam, also 22) have grown. She has done really great work alongside co-founder Susan Brown to help Nicholas and MANY other severely disabled people have opportunities for movement and access to outdoor activities, whether through the races, beach wheelchairs, accessible playgrounds or the accessible Cape house that SMILE Mass built (among many other things). I have been involved with SMILE Mass in various ways throughout the years and most recently joined its Board of Directors in 2019.
Description
Donate to help the SMILE Mass Falmouth Road Race team raise money to make recreation and vacation accessible to all, despite disability.
Your support will help SMILE Mass continue to expand their programs. Here are just some of their accomplishments over the past 11 years:
~donated over 140 floating beach wheelchairs to public beaches throughout New England
~created an Equipment Loaner Program that allows families to borrow adapted equipment free of charge for a day, a week, or longer
~opened an accessible beach rental in Truro, MA (Cape Cod) so families can enjoy a beach vacation
~built several accessible playgrounds in metro-west area of Massachusetts
None of this could have been accomplished without support from individuals just like you!
Together we can build a world where everyone belongs despite disability.
