Help Gabriela raise money

For participating in The 2024 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

Hi everyone! I’m beyond happy to announce that for the third year in a row, I will be running the Falmouth Road Race! This time, I have convinced my sister Jenna to run alongside me. We will do so in honor of our dad, Jay, who lost his battle to cancer in 2013. Joining the Tommy’s Place foundation team is the perfect way to raise money and return the same support we received for years.

 Tommy’s Place is an incredible organization that offers a vacation home on Cape Cod for kids who are battling cancer. Knowing that it takes a village, Tommy’s Place allows for children and their friends/families to spend a week of quality time together, all completely free of charge. Having first hand seen the effects that cancer has on a loved one, we are thrilled to be a part of this team and what it stands for.

 One of the rooms in Tommy’s Place is named after Liesl Radzik, a dear friend of ours who also courageously lost her battle to cancer. It is with great pride that we are also able to run in her memory. We will be keeping her mantra “Because Nice Matters” in the back of our minds, while we make our way to the finish line and remember what brought us here.

Any donation is greatly appreciated and all proceeds go directly towards relieving the financial burdens of the families who stay here at Tommy’s Place. Thank you!

One family at a time, along with their extended family and friends, visits for a one week, free of charge, dream vacation to relax, make memories and most importantly have FUN!

Tommy's Place homes are equipped with inground swimming pools, game rooms, movie theatres, home taverns, arts + crafts rooms, music rooms, chef's kitchens, and much, much more.  A magical experience for the entire family!

In 2024, Tommy's Place will begin to offer magical vacations to 104 families per year at its two vacation homes. Tommy's Place receives guest referrals from 11 New England children's hospitals and all families are placed through a lottery system. Guests are aged 3-17, actively being treated for pediatric cancer, and living permanently and full-time in New England.
