My Story…
I’m running this race in support of Tommy’s Place Foundation, a place that truly changes lives.
Tommy’s Place provides completely free, week-long dream vacations on Cape Cod for children fighting cancer and their families. It gives them something they don’t get nearly enough of during treatment. Time to breathe, laugh, and just be a family again.
Our family had the privilege of staying there over Thanksgiving 2025, to celebrate my niece, Giovanna. At just 4 years old, she spent months in the hospital battling a very rare disease. Watching her fight with that kind of strength at such a young age changed all of us.
That trip wasn’t just a getaway. It was a moment to celebrate her life, her healing, and everything she overcame. Today, she is healthy, and we feel beyond blessed.
I’m running for families who are still in the middle of that fight. The ones sitting in hospital rooms, waiting, hoping, and holding it together for their children.
And most of all, I’m running for Giovanna. She is our inspiration. Her strength, her joy, and her resilience remind us what truly matters.
If you’re able to support, donate, or even just share, it means more than you know.
This run is for Giovanna, for every child still fighting, and for every family holding on.
