My Story…

August always makes me think of sunny days, beach time, and, of course, the Falmouth Road Race. This year I'll once again be running to raise money for the Spina Bifida Association of Greater New England in memory of my college roommate and friend, Mike DesLauriers.

For more than 20 years, this race has been my way of honoring Mike while supporting an organization that provides valuable programs and resources for individuals and families affected by spina bifida.

I'm so grateful for the support so many of you have given over the years!

Description

Thank you for supporting the Spina Bifida Association of Greater New England.  

This tiny, but mighty, organization does incredible work providing resources, advocacy, education, and community for the estimated 4,400 individuals and families living with Spina Bifida in all 6 New England states.  Due to the dedication of all of our runners and rollers, as well as the generous support of our donors, SBAGNE can provide:

  • One welcome package to a family newly diagnosed with Spina Bifida ($25)
  • One care package for an individual in-hospital via our "Snowflake Network" ($50)
  • Help a family make valuable connections during one of our regional "Meet Your Neighbor" events ($100)
  • One Empowerment Grant for an individual with Spina Bifida to try a new experience ($250)
  • One scholarship to our Regional Education Conference or Spina Bifida Adult Empowerment Weekend ($500)
  • Support for one family to attend our Teen Empowerment Weekend or Family Camp Weekend ($1,000)
