This past fall, I set out to challenge myself to run in the Newport and Narragansett Rhode Island Half marathons. In the process of training for those back to back races, I found a new appreciation for running! Now, I want to take that journey further — not just for my own fitness, but to help bring hope and joy to children facing critical illnesses.
On August 17th, 2025, I’m running the Falmouth Road Race to support Make-A-Wish MA & RI, an organization that grants life-changing wishes for kids battling serious health challenges. Every dollar raised will go directly towards granting a wish — whether it’s a trip, a special experience, or a simple act of kindness that gives a child hope in tough times.
I believe that the power of a wish is transformational. When a wish is granted, it brings profound joy and strength to not only the child, but their entire family. Creating this treasured moment often becomes a source of strength and becomes a cherished memory for a lifetime.
Please join me in making a difference. Every donation, big or small, helps bring light to a child's life. Let’s come together and help make more wishes a reality!

Together, we create life-changing wish experiences for children with critical illnesses. Every year, approximately 500 Massachusetts and Rhode Island children are newly diagnosed with a serious illness and newly eligible for a wish. Our ultimate goal is to grant wishes for every medically eligible child in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
