Hello All!
This will be my 5th year running the Falmouth Road Race and I’m honored to be part of team MDSC once again. I ran my first race 5 years ago and it motivated me to learn to love running and even run and complete the Boston Marathon. I hope to run for team MDSC in Falmouth every year and to make this a yearly tradition to get in shape and run for a good cause that means a lot to me.
My little sister Thais has Down syndrome and I want to dedicate this run and every run I do for her! My parents run a non-profit group that is affiliated with the MDSC called FamiliaUpDown. They help Brazilian and Portuguese speaking families with Down Syndrome in the Massachusetts community. They help spread awareness and get families the help and information they need.
By running for team MDSC, I want to help raise money for the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress that will go towards programs to help individuals with Down syndrome, raise awareness, and ensure individuals with Down syndrome are included, valued and given equal opportunities.
Please consider donating and helping those with Down syndrome! Thank you!
Description
In August I will be running in the 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race to raise funds and promote the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome.
My goal is to raise as much as I can to support the MDSC's mission and I’m asking for your help! Will you join with me by making a tax-deductible donation? Your support will bring me one step closer to achieving my fundraising goal and will help the MDSC to continue to reach its ultimate goal—to ensure that all individuals with Down syndrome are valued, included, and given the opportunity to pursue fulfilling lives.
If you would like to make an online donation, please click above on my fundraising page. If you would prefer to donate by check, you can mail a check, payable to MDSC to:
MDSC
20 Burlington Mall Road, Suite 261
Burlington, MA 01803
Your donation will make a difference in the lives of people with Down syndrome and their families!
Thank you!
