Help Colleen raise money

For participating in The 2023 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

I am writing to ask for your support in running my second Falmouth Road Race in just a few weeks! As I did last year, I am running to fundraise for empowerHER, an organization that serves to support girls who have lost their mothers. I am running side by side with my sister Jess Keough who became affiliated with the group after the loss of her dear friend and colleague, Lindsay Bugbee Crosby who passed away on July 4, 2018 following the birth of her third child. Jess has run this race for the last 4 years to honor the life and motherhood of her friend and I was so humbled to take on this challenge last year. This year I am reminded of the overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude I felt crossing that finish line and look forward to delivering for empowerHER again in August.


Thank you all from near and far for your support and encouragement- I look forward to crushing it in Lindsay's honor.

Love,Colleen
