Why I'm running for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast
By ensuring equitable access to donor milk, the milk bank helps babies survive and thrive and offers hope to families every day.
I'm proud to be the Team Captain for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast's first Numbers for Nonprofits charity team raising funds through the 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race.
As a former noncompetitive racer, I'm inspired by our runners. Thank you to them and to all of you who are champions for little lives.
Description
Funds raised for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast help to provide 1.5 million feedings annually for fragile infants.
“TyQuell weighed just 1 lb., 11 oz when he was born – a number so tiny it was terrifying. He spent eight months and five days fighting for his life in that NICU. During those first few weeks (when I avoided finishing the nursery because I didn’t know if he’d be coming home) he was fortunate enough to receive donor milk . . . Doctors told me it would be beneficial, that it would help him grow. Knowing my son had the nutrition he needed gave me comfort. I was so thankful for that gift and still am.” ~ Sherita, TyQuell’s Mom
