Help Karissa raise money

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the 2023 Falmouth Road Race to support Compassionate Care ALS! I am running on behalf of my aunt Bunni who passed away in March 2022 after a long battle with ALS. Before her diagnosis, Bunni led a very active lifestyle as a personal trainer/fitness instructor and I hope to make her proud by running the Falmouth Road Race (again!) this year! Bunni was an amazing person, loved by many, and I hope to honor her memory by running (keepin’ active!) and raising funds for CCALS, an organization that helped provide support for her as she had to adapt her life through ALS progression. Bunni having ALS really made me think about how we cannot take life for granted and should appreciate our body capabilities, which we should not take for granted. I never thought I would become a runner, enjoy running long distance, or look forward to running in 90 degree August weather! But…I am sooo looking forward to this! I hope I live to see a cure discovered for ALS. In the meantime, I want to do my part to to combat ALS, or at least help those who are experiencing life with ALS. I am excited to run this race’s seven miles in support of an organization that means so much to me. This is the second year that I will be running in Falmouth on behalf of CCALS.  Funds raised from Falmouth Road Race allow Compassionate Care ALS to provide direct services and durable goods to ALS patients, their families, and their caregivers. Please give generously and assist us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS!
