My Story
Hello! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! I’m excited to be running in my very first Falmouth Road Race in August, and even more so because it affords me the opportunity to raise awareness and support for the Cape Wellness Collaborative(CWC).
Almost all of us have been affected by cancer, either personally or as a result of a friend or loved one’s experience. I’ve been lucky enough to recover from 2 separate encounters, prostate in 2022, and squamous cell carcinoma(neck) and in my lymph node in 2024.
As a result of my sister in law Allison’s journey, I have become more familiar with the CWC, and the valuable services they provide to residents of Cape Cod facing cancer through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services. I am honored to support this amazing organization, and look forward to celebrating continued good health all the way from Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights!
Thanks so much for your generous support! Gotta run!

Description
Cape Wellness Collaborative's (CWC) mission is to help residents of Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer feel better through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services.
Integrative therapies like massage, acupuncture, yoga, and more can significantly ease the physical and emotional side effects of cancer treatment and recovery. Yet most of these therapies are not covered by insurance, making them inaccessible to many when they’re needed most.
CWC bridges that gap. We connect individuals facing cancer with trusted, local practitioners who provide integrative care—and we cover the cost. Our model keeps care close to home, compassionate, and accessible.
Today, we serve approximately 1,100 people each year. Through our Wellness Eats program, we’ve also provided more than 18,000 handcrafted, nourishing meals to clients and caregivers across our community. We also host monthly support group meetings at our HQ in South Yarmouth.
Our goal is simple and deeply meaningful: to help people feel better—physically, emotionally, and holistically—while navigating cancer.
