Help Melanie raise money

For participating in The 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

My Story…

I am running this race, my very first race ever, in honor of my beloved grandfather Gerald Simches who devotedly ran the Falmouth Road Race alongside his son, my Uncle Mike, for so many years. I am raising funds for this wonderful organization in honor of Eliana. The beloved 9 year old elder sister of my daughter's very best friend Sarah. We think of Eliana every day. She is the reason I began to run and the spirit that keeps me running. I am honored to race for Tiny Transplant Titans. I know that both my grandfather and Eliana would be proud. 

Description

Tiny Transplant Titans is a 501(c)(3) that provides support to children who have received life-saving transplants, those waiting for their gift of life, and those needing a transplant in the future. We started this non-profit in honor of our son, Steve, who received a liver transplant at 22 months old. Our son, our experience and our support system motivated us to start Tiny Transplant Titans and we hope to provide support to other families going through the long road of pediatric transplant. 

We are honored to be part of the 2025 ASICS Falmouth Road Race!  The funds raised by our dedicated runners will allow us to help over 300 more children and families.  Team Tiny Transplant Titans will be running 7 miles on August 17 to not only raise money but also raise awareness for organ donation.

Thank you for supporting our mission by running or donating to our team! Your generosity means the world to us and so many other families facing pediatric transplant.  We could not do this without you! THANK YOU!
