My RMH Motivation
This August, I'm running the Falmouth Road Race for Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England, and I couldn't be more proud to do it.
RMHC keeps families close to each other and to the critical care their child needs, providing a true home away from home for families navigating the unimaginable. My sister Lauren currently works at the Ronald McDonald House in Portland, Oregon, where she sees the impact firsthand every day. I got a glimpse of that same impact during my time volunteering at the RMH in Springfield, MA.
Most importantly, my close friend Rose Gefteas and her family leaned on the Upper Midwest Ronald McDonald House during one of the most difficult chapters of her life, and hearing her story is a big part of what brought me here.
If you're able to donate, you're helping make sure no family has to face a medical crisis alone. Thank you so much!
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.
