Why I'm running for Mothers' Milk Bank Northeast
I am thrilled to run the 2025 Falmouth Road Race in support of the Mother's Milk Bank Northeast (MMBNE). In my practice as a neonatologist at Brigham & Women's Hospital, my tiny patients rely on pasteurized donor milk from MMBNE. As a human milk researcher, I know that when mother's milk is not available or is in short supply, donor milk is the next best choice - milk is essential medicine.
I have been a a member of the MMBNE Advisory Board for over a decade, and have never met a group of professionals more dedicated to helping mothers and babies while continuously growing and improving the organization every day. I am grateful for this opportunity to run the Falmouth Road Race and proud to fundraise for MMBNE.
Please consider making a donation to ensure that the tiniest babies in our community continue to have access to pasteurized donor milk. Your donation will make 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
