Help Nick raise money

For participating in The 2024 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

We are thrilled to be running again this year for Tommy's Place Foundation, Inc. aka "Tommy's Place" which owns and operates magical vacation homes for kids fighting cancer. Connor Keefe, his sister Sammie, and their parents Claire and Nick were guests at Tommy’s Place for one incredible week in June of 2022 when Connor was undergoing treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia, which he finally beat in December 2022 after two years of chemotherapy. During their stay, Connor enjoyed swimming in the pool, shooting hoops on the basketball court, playing ski-ball in the game room, roasting marsh mellows around the outdoor fire pit with his uncles and grandfather, and getting ice cream on Main Street in Falmouth. The Keefe family experienced firsthand how special a place like Tommy’s Place can be, and how it can bring families physically together to rally around one another during what is otherwise an incredibility stressful time in their lives. And while the Keefe family has been fortunate enough to experience many vacations on Cape Cod over the years, there are many families of children with cancer who would never get to experience anything like this without an organization like Tommy’s Place. We are running to raise money so that other families who are struggling emotionally and/or financially due to having a child with cancer can find a momentary respite in a child’s dream vacation home. 

Thank you,

Nick, John, Phil, James and Jim
