Why I am running for SMILE Mass?
I am running the Falmouth Road Race for team SMILE Mass and I need your support to help expand accessibility and experiences for all. Your support will help SMILE Mass continue to provide vacation and recreational opportunities to all despite disability. Many of you know Abby loves being out in the community and participating in many adventures from surfing to therapeutic horseback riding to skiing and a rider athlete for races. These opportunities came to fruition because people raised awareness, funds and had a passion. You can do your part to support their mission of inclusion, acceptance and community access.
Description
SMILE Mass is excited to be participating in our 14th Falmouth Road Race on August 18th 2024.
The Falmouth event is one of SMILE Mass' favorite events as the crowd, the course and the scenary are all breathtaking. The 7 mile course is challenging to say the list but the enthusaism of the crowd, the incredible views of the ocean with waves crashing beside and the thrill of running as part of the SMILE Mass team is beyond description.
The mission of SMILE Mass is to help families raising children or adults with disabilities enjoy happy, healthy memories through vacation and recreation experiences. We run for those who can't.
Over the last 14 years, SMILE Mass has:
* Donated over 180 floating beach wheelchairs to public beaches throughout New England making the joy of a day at the beach to be accessible for all.
*Created an Equipment Loaner Program that allows families to borrow adapted equipment free of charge for a day, a week, or longer.
* Purchased and opened an accessible beach rental in Truro, MA (Cape Cod) so families can enjoy a beach vacation.
* Built several accessible playgrounds in Metrowest area of Massachusetts.
None of this could have been accomplished without support from caring individuals just like you! Together we can build a world where everyone belongs despite disability. Visit our page at www.smilemass.org or watch our heartwarming video that aired on WCVB-5 for Good to donate or learn more about our mission.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart,
Lotte, Susan and the rest of the SMILE Mass Team
