My Story…

Hi everyone!

This year, I’m excited to be running my 4th Falmouth Road Race with Tommy’s Place, and even more excited that my sister Kathryn will be joining the team for her first road race! Together, we’re raising money for this incredible nonprofit organization.

Tommy’s Place serves as a vacation home on the cape for children and their families battling cancer. It serves as a place to rest, make memories, and simply enjoy time together during an incredibly difficult journey.

This disease hits far too close to home for so many of us. This summer, we run in honor of all those who have faced or are currently facing cancer. We also run in memory of our Aunt Liesl and her hard-fought battle. Tommy’s Place meant so much to her, and we know she would be thrilled to see how far the organization has come. Its growth is truly a reflection of the kindness of so many people, something she always believed in, “Because Nice Matters.”

Any donation, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us raise money for this amazing organization.
