Support the mission to save and heal lives through donation!
It is that time of year again! This year, Ashley, Gabe, Trevor, Christine, and Mike are all running Falmouth Road Race for team New England Donor Services in memory of Jenna.
Jenna was born with biliary atresia, a rare liver disease that can lead to liver damage and failure. Jenna received her first transplant just over the age of one thanks to an ultimate sacrifice of her donor and donor family. This gift gave the Atturio family 20 years to love and grow with Jenna. Unfortunately, it was determined that Jenna would need to be relisted for another transplant. She and the family waited three long years and ultimately Jenna passed away 12/22/2005 at the age of 20, during what they were hoping to be her second life saving transplant.
Each of us run in her memory, and to raise awareness of the importance of registering to be an organ and tissue donor. If there were more people registered back in 2005, Jenna may still be here with us today. Any amount helps towards this very important cause, and we thank you!
Please save the date and join us on June 21st 2025 at Barrel House Z at 95 Woodrock Rd, Weymouth, MA 02189 from 1-4pm for a day of fundraising! This fundraiser will be done alongside our other sister, Gianna who will be running Falmouth Road Race for Tiny Transplant Titans, another nonprofit organization focusing on the importance of donation and transplant!
There will be lots of raffle prizes available! We hope to see you there!
Description
New England Donor Services is the not-for-profit organization serving the region for organ and tissue donation. There are currently 6,500 patients waiting for an organ transplant in New England and countless others will require tissue to heal this year. With approximately half of the population registered donor, it's critical for more people to join the Donor Registry today. Funds are needed to help educate the community about the importance of organ and tissue donation and the need across the community. Give now and show your support!
