Why this is important to me!
I am so honored to be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race for DetecTogether, supporting such an amazing cause. Cancer has had an unfortunate impact on my life, as I have seen three important women in my life go through this horrible disease. One of these women is my mother, who is happily in remission, which we are so thankful for, while the other two are heartbreakingly no longer with us. Going through these experiences has shown me just how important early detection really is. DetecTogether’s mission of promoting early detection and awareness means so much to me. Running this race is a way to honor those that I love and those that I have lost while supporting a cause that truly saves lives. Thank you so much for your support—anything helps!!
Description
The worst cancer diagnosis is a late one. That's why support for DetecTogether is so crucial. They teach people how to detect cancer early when it’s most treatable and survivable.
40% of the population will face a cancer diagnosis. One of the most important factors in surviving cancer is the stage at which it is first detected. Early detection makes all the difference.
DetecTogether provides a simple, powerful strategy for detecting cancer early. They educate in schools, present to community groups, and reach out to those at high risk, such as firefighters, empowering people to achieve better healthcare overall.
Their life-saving presentations and information are delivered at no cost, thanks to the kindness and generosity of donors.
Consider supporting this cause. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
