I’m honored to share that I will be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race in support of Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech.
This cause holds a special place in my heart because I am a proud Clarke alumna. After receiving my cochlear implant, my parents enrolled me at Clarke School in Boston. Clarke became so much more than a school—it was a place where I found community, confidence, and the support I needed to succeed.
As a young child with hearing loss, I had the opportunity to learn alongside other children with similar experiences. Through the dedication of Clarke’s teachers, audiologists, and speech-language professionals, I developed the listening and spoken language skills that have shaped my life. Clarke gave me the tools to communicate, connect with others, and pursue opportunities that may not have been possible otherwise.
Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for the role Clarke played in my journey. The foundation they helped build continues to impact my life every day. Without their guidance, support, and belief in me, I would not be the person I am today.
Running the Falmouth Road Race is my way of giving back to an organization that gave so much to me and my family. I am raising funds to help ensure that children who are deaf or hard of hearing have access to the same life-changing opportunities, education, and support that I received.
If you are able, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps Clarke continue its mission and make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Description
At Clarke we teach children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk.
Children served by Clarke use advanced technologies, including cochlear implants and hearing aids, to maximize their access to sound. We work with children and their families from infancy through their teen years. Our teachers of the deaf, audiologists and speech-language pathologists have the background, training and experience to prepare children academically and socially for a world of limitless possibilities.
Clarke children listen and learn in the classroom, run and laugh with their friends on the playground, and have lives filled with music, sports, family and community. Many children who come to Clarke are ready to attend their neighborhood schools by preschool and kindergarten.
In addition to our work with children, we serve families and adults through a wide range of programs and services. With our extensive staff of experts, physical locations along the Eastern Seaboard and a robust teleservices program delivering services remotely, we strive to reach people with hearing loss at all stages of life.
