Why I'm running for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast
The Falmouth Road Race is more than just a historic and scenic run, it’s a tradition that brings people together to support causes that make a real impact. This year, I’m proud to be running in support of Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, an organization that does incredible work providing donor milk to babies in need.
When our son was born, we had a brief experience needing donor milk, and we were fortunate to have access to it. But many families face much greater challenges, and for some newborns, especially premature or medically vulnerable babies, donor milk can be critical to their survival and health. Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast ensures that these babies get the nourishment they need when their own mother’s milk isn’t available.
By running and fundraising for this cause, I hope to help them continue their mission and expand their reach to more families who need their support. The Falmouth Road Race is the perfect venue to raise both money and awareness for this important work, bringing together a community that believes in giving back.
Every donation helps provide donor milk to the most vulnerable babies. If you’re able, I’d be grateful for your support in helping Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast continue making a difference.
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
