Help Dave raise money

For participating in The 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

Hi there – thanks so much for visiting my page!

I can’t believe this marks my 20th Falmouth Road Race, along with two Boston Marathons, all in support of SPAGNE. It’s always a true honor to run in memory of my friend and former college roommate, Mike DesLauriers, who lived with this birth defect.

Your donation, support, and compassion mean the world—and help make a real difference.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Dave Balardini
