My Story…
Hi All. I'm back as always to run the Falmouth Road Race this year in memory of Mr. Kevin O'Keefe and in support of the National Pancreas Foundation. With each passing year since Kevin has been gone, which will be five years in September, I realize more and more how significantly he impacted my life and the lives of my wife and children. We miss him terribly. There are things I didn't say to him before he died that I deeply regret keeping to myself before it was too late. This annual effort to support the NPF by running the Falmouth Road Race is a means for me to feel connected to Kevin and to honor his memory. The importance of the run for me has evolved over time. Initially it was a personal benchmark that anchored my running routine and general fitness schedule...which was so shallow and souless. Now, the time spent running those 7 miles in Falmouth, and the time spent preparing for it, are spent reflecting on Kevin's life. I miss him deeply and think about him often.
It is with great humility that I once again ask my friends and family to support my fundraising efforts and honor Kevin with a donation that will go towards supporting the National Pancreas Foundation.
Thank you,
EvDogg
