Help Cynthia raise money

For participating in The 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story

As the calendar page turned to 2025, I decided to return to running in an effort to improve my health and well-being. Since that time, I have completed a 5k, 10k Trail Run, and I am registered for my first half-marathon this July. Matt and I even joined a local running club (shoutout to Shoveltown Growlers...) and the icing on the cake--to mark our 20th anniversary, Matt & I have decided to run the Cape Cod Marathon. The overall joy and balance that running has brought to my life is immeasurable!

As I have embarked on this journey, I have become all too aware of the potential dangers to runners, specifically solo-runners, and even more-so, to female solo runners. I see it mentioned on the social media running group pages I follow, hear it talked about amongst my friends, and I feel it personally when running through secluded or unfamiliar places.  When I read the Mission of the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation, I knew I had found an organization I wanted to support.  The Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation, named for a young woman who was tragically murdered while out exercising, aims to empower, educate and inform in an effort to lead to a safer world. They offer self-defense training, mentoring and support for domestic violence organizations. 

Won't you please consider joining me in an effort to support this worthy cause?


Description

Every 68 seconds, someone in the U.S. is assaulted. 

Please support my charity run for the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation. Together, we can help create a safer world. The Foundation works to decrease objectification and violence, and to promote safety awareness and gender equality. It furthers its mission of empowering women to live boldly and fearlessly by providing vital resources, personal safety training and educational opportunities, as well as through partnerships with like-minded organizations to address the root causes of violence against women.
