My Story…

Hi everyone!

My name is Rachel Smith, and this August I will be running my first ever Falmouth Road Race with team Tommy's Place. I am running in honor of my friend and teammate Priscilla Bonica. She lost her battle with brain cancer in June of 2023. Tommy’s Place was able to provide peace and joyful memories for Priscilla and the Bonica family. Tommy's Place is a nonprofit organization that offers free vacations to families with children actively undergoing cancer treatment. Being able to represent an organization that brought so much joy and support for many families faced with adversity is inspiring beyond measure. Priscilla was an incredible friend and teammate, and I am honored to support Tommy’s place who provided comfort for the Bonica family. Any amount you can give is appreciated! 

Thank you! 

Rachel
