My Story…
On August 17, 2025, I will be running the 53rd ASICS Falmouth Road Race—a scenic and challenging 7-mile course along Cape Cod. This will be my third time running this incredible race, and each year, I’m inspired by the mission of Why Me & Sherry's House and the families they support.
Why Me is a Worcester-based nonprofit dedicated to providing love, support, and essential services to families facing childhood cancer. Founded in 1985 by 13-year-old Sherry Shepherd during her own cancer battle, Why Me ensures that no family has to navigate this journey alone. Their programs—including peer support, financial assistance, family fun events, bereavement support, and Sherry’s House (a home away from home for families during treatment)—are offered free of charge to those in need.
By donating to my fundraising efforts, you're directly helping Why Me continue this vital work. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
