My team
I'm running the 52nd ASICS Falmouth Road Race for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation
Hello everyone!
I will be running my 6th Falmouth Road Race on August 18th for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation--as you know a foundation that is very close to my heart.
I was diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer in 2015. After battling for 6 years, it would progress to stage 4 metastatic disease. Although doctors feel I will never be cured and care provided to me is now considered palliative, I continue to fight every day and have hope that one day they will find a cure for me and others fighting this awful disease.
The Joe Andruzzi Foundation came into my life shortly after I was diagnosed and has become a very important part of my life. Joe and Jen Andruzzi and the staff of the foundation have become great friends of mine and my biggest supporters. It has become my passion in life to promote this foundation and give back to a foundation that gives so much to many in a great time of need.
I will be lacing up my sneakers and running the 7 miles with my favorite running crew--my sister and two of my good friends who continue to support me day in and day out. I will be running in honor of all cancer patients who are fighting the fight every day just like myself. Their strength and courage will inspire me to keep going during the 7 miles. Please consider donating to a wonderful foundation if you can 💙
Description
JAF is committed to providing assistance to patients of all ages, any cancer, throughout New England who are struggling financially due to a cancer diagnosis. JAF understands that everyday living expenses don’t stop because of a diagnosis, and JAF provides various programs to help patients make ends meet. Because patients and families must often devote all their energy and resources toward treatment, the Foundation helps alleviate financial and emotional stress by providing grants to assist with rent/mortgage, transportation to treatment, food, and more. Through our Assistance Programs and Wellness Assistance, the grant recipients can focus on their cancer treatment and not the financial distress that comes with it.
Thank you in advance for your support!
