Hello 👋🏼
Thanks for visiting my Fundraising page! This August, I will be participating in the Falmouth Road Race, and I will be running on the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) team to help raise awareness and support for this important organization.
I am running in support of MARE because foster care and adoption have become deeply personal to my family. As many of you know, my husband and I have been foster parents to our youngest child, Hazel, for nearly three years and are currently in the process of finalizing her adoption. It’s been a long, and often complex journey, but one filled with so much growth, compassion, and love.
Throughout this journey, MARE has been an incredible resource—providing guidance, advocacy, and support as we’ve navigated the foster care system and the path to adoption. Their work helps connect children with families and ensures that kids in foster care have the opportunity to find safe, permanent homes.
I’m running not only for our daughter, but for the many children still waiting for their forever families. With continued support, organizations like MARE can continue making life-changing connections for kids who need them most.
I truly appreciate any amount you are able to donate to support MARE and their mission to support all foster children in finding forever homes. ❤️
Description
Thank you for supporting my run to make life-changing connections for youth in foster care.
On August 16th, I'm running the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race to support the work of the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc. MARE's mission is to build connections for youth in foster care with permanent and adoptive families.
Committed to providing children and teens in foster care with the support and love they need to thrive, MARE strives to connect each youth they serve with the permanent family they deserve. MARE offers guidance and support to families so they can provide their children with long-term stability, healing, and a sense of belonging.
To support MARE's mission, my goal is to raise $1,500 on behalf of the children and teens in Massachusetts foster care who have a goal of adoption, but no identified resource or family member to provide a permanent home.
Thank you for your donation! Together, we're bringing families together.
