I'm Running the Falmouth Road Race for Team NECC!
I’m running the Falmouth Road Race to support the New England Center for Children (NECC) in honor of my oldest son, Alex, who has been part of the NECC community since 2022.
Alex was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder just after his second birthday. He’s my oldest—and while he may be the tallest by far, he’s also the sweetest, kindest, and most gentle soul. He brings so much joy to those around him with his silliness, his humor, and his unwavering love of donuts and pizza. He is deeply loved by his parents, his brothers, our extended family, and everyone lucky enough to know him.
NECC has made a profound difference in Alex’s life and in ours. We are incredibly grateful for the care, expertise, and compassion they provide every day. Running this race is one small way for me to give back—not only to support Alex’s continued growth, but also to help other children and families navigating autism.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for your support. It truly means so much to all of us.
