My Story…
I am so excited to be running for team Empower again this year! This organization provides support for children and young adults who have suffered the loss of a parent. I lost my dad tragically when I was 13 and I understand first hand how isolating grief can feel especially at a young age. This is an incredible organization that is beyond needed for all these kids who are trying to navigate a life without a parent.
This year I am running In honor of my Dad, Eric and I am also running in honor of my mentee Aubrey’s dad Damien. I got matched with Aubrey a few months ago and getting to form a relationship with this incredible 13 year old has been a silver lining in my grief. I feel honored to be Aubrey’s mentor and be her friend and support in whatever way she needs. We never would have been connected without Empower and I am so grateful that this organization exists.
Description
Join me in supporting Empower by helping me raise money as I take on the 2025 Falmouth Road Race!
Empower is an international nonprofit with a very specific mission — to empower, support, and connect children and young adults (up through age 24) who have experienced the loss of a parent. Empower provides events that remind children they are not alone in their grief, and a unique one-on-one mentor program with positive role models from the community who help teach, “loss is survivable.”
Cara was nine years old when her mother Kit died of breast cancer and formed Empower as a grassroots movement out of the gratitude she had for all the layers of support her family received growing up. Empower operates with a lean staff and thousands of volunteers from across the globe and all programs remain at no charge to the family.
