My Reason to Run
Hello Friends & Family!
I will be running The Falmouth Road Race for my first time in August 2024. Back on My Feet empowers people to break free from the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community support, and employment resources.
I am running in memory of my best friend/father, Joseph Lucian Franco, who passed away this past July 3, 2023 from heart complications due to alcohol addiction and mental illness. I watched my Dad go from being a funny, supportive, charismatic, strong, successful businessman in our small town one year, to being homeless living in a car or a motel the next year. I also will be running this with my brother, Jay, in my thoughts. Jay passed away from suicide after a long battle with mental illness. This is a program that they would have greatly benefited from and supported.
I also run for many others who are fighting addiction and homelessness- whether it is themself or a loved one.
Thank you for your continued love and support on this journey.
