Why I am running for SMILE Mass?
I’m running the Falmouth Road Race this August - it’s 7 miles which I’ve never done before!! This is my first time running more than a 5k and I’m excited to take on this challenge while supporting a great cause. I am hoping to raise at least $1,400 for SMILE MASS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families raising children or adults with disabilities.
As someone who loves helping others and challenging myself to try new things, I would be immensely grateful for any support you may able to offer, as would SMILE Mass. All contributions go directly to this organization which focuses on helping others with disabilities enjoy happy, healthy memories through education, vacation, and recreational activities.
Every donation helps. Thank you SO much for your contribution. I am looking forward to this day!
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
