My Story…
Please consider supporting me as I once again run the Falmouth Road Race this August in support of Why Me/Sherry's House in Worcester. For those donating $50 or more, please share a song with me and I will add it to this year's Falmouth run playlist.
It's hard to believe that Sophia would have turned 16 this year! When she was diagnosed with leukemia 13 years ago, we were completely overwhelmed with all of the decisions and changes we were experiencing as a young family, and these challenges only grew when Sophia passed away at just 4 years old from this disease.
Through it all, Why Me was there for us, all of us! While of course the focus was on Sophia, Why Me provided us as parents with the community support we needed while also coordinating a separate, age appropriate support system for Ethan and Hannah. Why Me was a lifeline for us in our time of need and I am thrilled to once again be giving back to this great organization!
