My Story…


This year I’ll be running the Falmouth Road Race once again, and this year I’m proud to be raising money for Tommy’s Place.

Lindsey and I chose this charity after spending time in Centerville and learning about the incredible difference they make for families facing childhood cancer. We were staying near one of their homes, and hearing the stories of the families they serve left a lasting impression on us.

Since then, our lives have changed in the best possible way—we welcomed our beautiful daughter, Natalie, into the world.

Becoming a father again has made Tommy’s Place’s mission even more meaningful to me. Every parent treasures the opportunity to create memories with their children. For families facing childhood cancer, those precious moments are too often consumed by hospital stays, treatments, and uncertainty.

Tommy’s Place gives these families an extraordinary gift: a beautiful, completely free vacation retreat where they can step away from the realities of cancer and simply be together. It gives parents the chance to laugh with their children, siblings the chance to play, and families the chance to create memories that will last a lifetime despite the challenges they face.

If you’re able to support my run with a donation, you’ll be helping Tommy’s Place continue providing these unforgettable experiences to families when they need them most. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps create moments of joy, hope, and togetherness.

Thank you for supporting me, supporting Tommy’s Place, and helping give families the priceless gift of time together.
