Help No One Fights Alone raise money

No One Fights Alone – 2026 Falmouth Road Race Team

We are Team No One Fights Alone, proudly running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race in support of the American Cancer Society. Our team of five—Marissa, Annie, James, Eileen, and Kelly—have come together with one shared mission: to honor loved ones we’ve lost, support those still fighting, and help create a future without cancer.

Hi, I'm Marissa and for me, this race is personal. I’ve spent every summer of my life in Falmouth at my grandparents’ house, and some of my favorite childhood memories were made there. It’s always been such a special place to me—and it was my grandpa’s favorite place in the world, too. He was the best: so intelligent, kind, hardworking, supportive, and someone I looked up to in every way. Losing him to Leukemia changed the way I see Falmouth. It’s still full of joy, but now it’s also a place where I feel close to him and remember everything he meant to me.

This year, cancer hit even closer to home when my mom was also diagnosed with Leukemia. Thankfully, she’s doing well, but it’s a reminder of just how many people are affected by this disease. Watching someone you love go through that is hard, and it’s given even more meaning to why I’m running.

Running this race is my way of honoring my grandpa, supporting my mom, and standing with everyone who is fighting or has been affected by cancer. 

As a team, we believe in the power of community, resilience, and hope. No one should have to face cancer alone—and together, we can make a difference.
