My RMH Motivation

This August, I will be running the Falmouth Road Race in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England.

Philanthropy has been such a meaningful and defining part of my life for as long as I can remember. Through my experiences volunteering, working in philanthropy-focused internships, and serving as both Director of Philanthropy and Ronald McDonald House Chair for my chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at George Washington University, I have learned how powerful community support can be during someone’s most difficult moments.

This past fall, I ran the Ronald McDonald House 5K, and that experience truly inspired me. Seeing so many people come together in support of Ronald McDonald House families reinforced just how impactful this organization is and how much I wanted to continue supporting its mission in a larger way. That race ultimately motivated me to take on the challenge of running the Falmouth Road Race this summer in support of Ronald McDonald House.

Ronald McDonald House is an organization that has truly stayed close to my heart. The work Ronald McDonald House does goes far beyond providing housing; it creates comfort, stability, and a sense of home for families with seriously ill children when they need it most. Being able to support families in even a small way is something that means so much to me.

Running the Falmouth Road Race is both a personal challenge and an opportunity for me to give back to a mission I deeply care about. Every mile I run and every donation made through this page will directly support Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England and the families they serve.

My fundraising goal is $1,500, and I would be incredibly grateful for any contribution, no matter the amount. Thank you for supporting me, supporting RMH, and helping make a meaningful impact on families who need it most.

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.
