My RMH Motivation
This August, I’m excited to be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race in support of Ronald McDonald House New England. I’ve committed to raising $1,500 to help provide families with lodging, meals, and a supportive community while their child receives medical care far from home. By easing the financial and emotional burden of travel, Ronald McDonald House allows families to be present for their child during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
This cause is especially meaningful to me because, through my experiences in healthcare and as I prepare to apply to medical school, I’ve come to appreciate that caring for patients also means caring for their families. When families don’t have to worry about where they’ll stay or how they’ll afford to be close to their child, they can focus on what matters most, supporting their loved one’s recovery. To me, that kind of support is an essential part of compassionate, patient-centered care.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps make that possible. Thank you for supporting me and helping me reach my $1,500 fundraising goal!
Description
As the excitement builds for the upcoming Falmouth Road Race I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support of a cause that truly matters – supporting families in need through Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England.
With every stride we take, we are not just covering miles, we are helping provide a home away from home. On August 16, 2026 Team RMHCNE will hit the pavement to race the historic 7 mile course, while raising critical funds to support the Ronald McDonald House in Providence and the Ronald McDonald House at Boston Harbor.
Each year hundreds of families travel to New England from locations all over the world to give their child access to the best medical care. In doing so, they face enormous hurdles such as navigating the complexities of the health care system, extraordinarily high local housing costs, and excessive emotional and physical stress. At the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England, we remove the stress of daily living and support families to enable them to focus on what really matters: their child’s health and healing.
This year Team RMHCNE will work together to provide over 1,000 nights of housing, comfort and support for families of critically ill children. Together, we can reduce the stress associated with financial strain so families can focus on the health of their children.
I hope I can count on you to support my run by contributing to this very special program. Together we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
