My Story…
Here we go again! I'll be running the Falmouth Road Race for the second time in August and raising money for the Spina Bifida Association of Greater New England.
Spina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the U.S. Spina Bifida literally means "split spine." It is a neural tube defect occurring early in pregnancy, and affects every individual differently, depending on the location and size of the opening.
This cause is important to me because my mother lost a baby to Spina Bifida between my two older sisters. It is something we have talked about my whole life, and something that concerned me with all three of my pregnancies.
Please consider donating any amount you can to help me reach my goal.
