Help Annie raise money

This August, I will be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race (my seventh time taking on this special course) on behalf of MSPCA–Angell.

I’m running in honor of Lucky & Smokey, our beloved dogs who we lost in a tragic house fire in 2021, as well as my father, Len, who passed away in 2023, and my brother, Peter, who we lost to cancer last year. These past five years have brought an immense amount of loss for our family. Through it all, one of the most meaningful ways I’ve found to cope has been through honoring their memories and carrying forward the love they brought into my life.

Running this race has become a deeply personal way for me to do exactly that. It’s a chance to celebrate their lives, to keep their spirits close, and to channel my grief into something purposeful and positive.

MSPCA–Angell’s mission - to protect animals, relieve their suffering, advance their health and welfare, and create a more compassionate world - feels especially meaningful as I run in memory of Lucky and Smokey, and in honor of my dad and brother, whose kindness and love continue to inspire me every day.

My fundraising goal this year is ambitious, but it reflects just how much this means to me. If you’re able, I would be so grateful if you would consider making a donation. Your support is not only helping this incredible organization care for animals in need - it’s also a way to help me honor the lives of those I love and miss so deeply.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for being part of this journey with me over the last 5 years.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Annie
