My Story…

I am so excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race again this year for the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress!  The MDSC means so much to our family and the many other families that also have loved ones with Down Syndrome. 

We received Brendan's diagnosis of Down Syndrome when I was just 12 weeks pregnant and we were overwhelmed by the news and fear of the unknowns.  The MDSC immediately embraced us and offered support and connection to us from the very early days of receiving this diagnosis through their First Call program, introducing us to other families in the community and allowing us to see that our children are more alike than different.    We are so grateful for the MDSC community, through the family support groups we have been built friendships and our own network of support- some of whom I am excited to run with on race day!    

We are so proud of our son Brendan- he lights up every room he enters and makes friends everywhere we go and continues to show us every day how smart, determined and funny he is. The MDSC continues to support families and individuals with Down Syndrome throughout their life through advocacy and educational programs that help our loved ones live life to the fullest, and this work is more important than ever. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Brendan and thank the MDSC in their role in that.  Please help me support the MDSC and their important mission in any way that you can!  

Description

In August I will be running in the 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race to raise funds and promote the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome.

My goal is to raise as much as I can to support the MDSC's mission and I’m asking for your help!  Will you join with me by making a tax-deductible donation?  Your support will bring me one step closer to achieving my fundraising goal and will help the MDSC to continue to reach its ultimate goal—to ensure that all individuals with Down syndrome are valued, included, and given the opportunity to pursue fulfilling lives.

If you would like to make an online donation, please click above on my fundraising page. If you would prefer to donate by check, you can mail a check, payable to MDSC to:

MDSC
20 Burlington Mall Road, Suite 261
Burlington, MA 01803

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of people with Down syndrome and their families!

Thank you!
