Help Pat raise money

For participating in The 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

Why I am running for SMILE Mass?

I am running the Falmouth Road Race to support SMILE Mass so that everyone can enjoy a day at the beach, a bike ride with family members, participating in a road race and so many other experiences that many of us take for granted. Your support will help SMILE Mass continue to provide vacation and recreation experiences to all, despite disability.

Description

SMILE Mass is excited to be participating in our 15th Falmouth Road Race on August 17th 2025. 

The Falmouth event is one of SMILE Mass' favorite events as the crowd, the course and the scenery are all breathtaking. The 7 mile course is challenging to say the least but the enthusiasm of the crowd, the incredible views of the ocean with waves crashing beside and the thrill of running as part of the SMILE Mass team is beyond description. 

The mission of SMILE Mass is to help families raising children or adults with disabilities enjoy happy, healthy memories through vacation and recreation experiences. We run for those who can't. 
Over the last 14 years, SMILE Mass has:

* Donated over 180 floating beach wheelchairs to public beaches throughout New England making the joy of a day at the beach to be accessible for all.

*Created an Equipment Loaner Program that allows families to borrow adapted equipment free of charge for a day, a week, or longer.

* Purchased and opened an accessible beach rental in Truro, MA (Cape Cod) so families can enjoy a beach vacation.

* Built several accessible playgrounds in Metrowest area of Massachusetts.

None of this could have been accomplished without support from caring individuals just like you! Together we can build a world where everyone belongs despite disability. Visit our page at www.smilemass.org or watch our heartwarming video that aired on WCVB-5 for Good  to donate or learn more about our mission.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart, 

Lotte, Susan and the rest of the SMILE Mass Team
