Help Karen raise money

Hi Friends - I am so excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race this summer! It's my 3rd time, but many years since the last time I ran it. I'm running on behalf of the Ellie Fund, an organization that is near and dear to my heart. After my own journey with Breast Cancer, I found myself wanting to do something... just try to invest my time, energy and passion to help others who dealing with their own struggles and personal journeys to beat breast cancer. I learned about the Ellie Fund last year and found my calling. What has truly stood out to me about the Ellie Fund is it's grass roots approach to supporting women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer across the state of Massachusetts. The dollars that are raised for the Ellie Fund, go directly to helping these patients, whether it's with groceries & meal, rides to treatment, child care, and many other needs that people have to deal with that can make it difficult to stick to their treatment plan and try to take care of their physical and mental well-being, so they can devote themselves to beating breast cancer. Please consider supporting me as I run the Falmouth Road Race to raise money on behalf of the Ellie Fund. Thank you so much for your generosity and cheering me on! (And, if you are unable to donate, spread the word about the Ellie Fund to those in your life that may unfortunately get a breast cancer diagnosis one day)

Ellie Fund is a registered 501(c)(3), focused on building healthy communities by providing essential support services - free of charge - to breast cancer patients while they are undergoing treatment.  Ellie Fund services - including grocery assistance, prepared & delivered meals, transportation to appointments, childcare, housekeeping, integrative therapies, and other personalized services - are designed to relieve a patient’s financial and emotional burdens during costly and debilitating treatment, to promote treatment adherence and a chance at the best possible health outcome. 

Uniquely, Ellie Fund partners with our patients on a monthly basis - for up to six months - helping them cope in the face of scary unknowns, and budget amid increased bills and reduced income. By meeting a patient’s daily non-medical needs, Ellie Fund achieves our mission to alleviate stress during breast cancer treatment, allowing patients to focus on what matters most: family, healing, and getting back on their feet.
