My Story…

This August, I’m proud to be running the Falmouth Road Race in support of a cause close to my heart — Empower, a nonprofit that helps children who have experienced the loss of a parent find strength, resilience, and hope through connection and mentorship.  

I lost my Dad in childhood and know firsthand how important it is to have support during such a difficult time. Running this race is a way for me to give back, to honor the journey that shaped who I am and to support kids who are walking a similar path. I would be so grateful for your support — whether it’s a donation, sharing my fundraiser page, or cheering me on as I train and race.

Every dollar raised will go directly to programs that help kids build confidence, community, and healing during one of the toughest times in their lives.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting this impactful organization and these incredibly resilient kids.

 

With gratitude,

Julie

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.  For more information, or to become a Mentor or enroll a child, please visit www.weareempower.org
