My Story…
I'm running the 2025 Falmouth Road Race to raise money for Bishstrong Foundation, Inc.
The Bishstrong Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that inspires and encourages individuals with spinal cord injuries and/or limited mobility issues to remain active. My cousin, DJ Bishop, created the Foundation in 2023 because he wants to help people who, like him, have suffered from a spinal cord injury or are otherwise living with paralysis. Just last year, the Bishstrong Foundation awarded financial grants to four individuals who suffered from spinal cord injuries for the purchase of adaptive equipment like the Saebo Mobile Arm Support and the Tonal Home Gym.
Last year, I helped raise over $14,000 as a member of the Bishstrong Foundation's Falmouth Road Race team. (See my 7th-mile-smile in my photo to the right as I realized that it was all downhill to the finish line from there.) Our goal this year is to raise $25,000 to increase the Bishtrong Foundation's impact on the spinal cord injury community.
Please consider helping us reach our goal by donating to the Bishstrong Foundation! It'll mean the world to me.
