My Story
Hello!!
Thank you so much for coming to our Falmouth Road Race Fundraising page. We are a mother/son duo running for Cape Wellness Collaborative (CWC). See below for a short summary about us and why we're running!
As you most likely know, Allison was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of 2025. After multiple biopsies and many difficult conversations with doctors, she made the decision to receive a double mastectomy surgery, which took place April 17, 2025. Thankfully, following the surgery, she has been making an incredible recovery and is now cancer-free!! As part of her journey coming back from cancer, she enrolled to receive wellness benefits with Cape Wellness Collaborative. The organization has been nothing short of amazing, helping Allison bounce-back better than ever with meals, massages, and other treatments free of charge. Every dollar you donate will go directly to CWC in support of their mission: to help residents of Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer feel better through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services. We are so thankful for their services and are honored to be able to give back by running the Falmouth Road Race in support of CWC.

Description
CWC provides free of charge integrative therapies, nutritious meals, and emotional support for people facing cancer on Cape Cod and their caregivers.
Integrative care includes massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga, art therapy and more. All of these modalities provide significant relief from the side effects of cancer and its treatment. Integrative care is not typically covered by insurance, which means many people cannot afford it while undergoing cancer treatment and facing a loss of work.
CWC partners directly with local practitioners who provide these services and we cover the cost.
Our model makes integrative care accessible: the practitioners are in your neighborhood, and the cost is covered. We serve over 600 people living with cancer each year. Our goal is to help people feel better, better tolerate treatment, and recover faster after treatment.
Thank you to all who have donated so far!
