I'm Making My Miles More Meaningful with Team DetermiNation!
Like many people my life has been affected by cancer, I have watched multiple family members face what is always a shocking diagnosis. Each experience is different but each faces its share of uncertainty and challenges. The American Cancer Society is working to both help those with cancer but also to help end cancer. It made it a simple decision to run this years Falmouth Road Race with DeterminNation, American Cancer Society's Falmouth Road Race team.
In recent months my extended family has received multiple cancer diagnoses and I want to honor those battles they are in the middle. I want to run in honor of three of my aunts who all faced challenging cancer diagnoses and multiple generations of family members who have faced colon cancer. I also run in memory of my cousin's wife who lost her life to ovarian cancer. She was an instant friend to me and a bright light during some challenging times. I think of her often and remember how much joy she found in life.
I will be carrying all their names on my shirt while I run and I would love to carry the name of your loved ones as well. Please let me know so I can be sure to carry them with me as I run in August.

Description
Why I Support the American Cancer Society
Cancer has affected so many people I know and love that it’s inspired me to join the American Cancer Society's Team DetermiNation's 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race team. Taking part in this iconic and historical road race with DetermiNation gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and impactful services for people going through a cancer diagnosis. I’m also participating to inspire hope for those facing the disease. I hope you’ll consider signing up too or supporting my efforts.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 18.1 million cancer survivors nationwide. 18.1 MILLION. That’s huge. That’s why I’d love your support. Will you join me? And if you can’t would you be so kind as to make a donation?
