Help Lisa raise money

I am honored to be running the 2024 Falmouth Road Race for Last Call Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing assistance to the firefighting community and their families. Boston 2024 was a blast with this incredible team!

On March 26, 2014, a fire broke out in Boston's Back Bay. Michael Kennedy, a 33-year-old Boston Firefighter and former US Marine Sergeant, was among the first firefighters to arrive on the scene. Michael and Fire Lieutenant Edward Walsh entered the front of the building in an effort to search for a resident reported to be inside, in a basement unit. The gale force winds blowing across the Charles River at the rear of the building, drove the flames into voids above the basement ceiling. When a door was opened at the rear of the building a flash over occurred, causing firefighters then entering the front of the building to be literally blown back out. It is assumed that flashover caused the hose burn through failure that left Michael and Ed’s calls for water “Charge the Line”  unanswered. Though water was being pumped into the line the hose was burned through at the stairs.  A Mayday call was issued and eventually 9 alarms were rung, 16 firefighters were injured that day, many while trying to reach thier trapped brothers. The Last Call Foundation was born from the determination to ensure that tragedies such as the one on March 26, 2014 never happen again.

By supporting this project, you will help fund crucial programs that offer educational, emotional, and financial support to firefighters and their loved ones. Your donation will make a significant impact by enabling Last Call Foundation to continue their life-saving work and ensure the well-being of those who selflessly risk their lives to protect us. Join me in showing appreciation for the brave men and women who serve as our first line of defense against fires and emergencies.
